    Almost unreal how great this place is…read more First off, just on vibes, this is an amazing bike shop. You're effectively rolling your bike into someone's living room and they just jack it up and make it all right again. Kelly also fiercely believes in being part of the local community and takes every opportunity to show it. So on those bases alone, it's an amazing community bike shop. What puts it over the top is the quality and mechanical skill. I had a tune up gone bad at another highly rated bike shop in town this year. Nothing too drastic but persistent nagging problems that their best mechanics couldn't resolve despite repeated visits over multiple months and several multi-week stays in their shop. Eventually I just lost faith and brought it into Mack's. They politely pointed out several of the immediate issues (which the other shop had somehow entirely missed), but were reasonably conservative about their ability to diagnose the deeper and more intermittent issues I was experiencing. They quoted me two weeks. Two *hours* later I got a call. They had rebuilt all of the major systems. Everything was fixed, and it was less than a tenth the price of the other shop. I can't think of any higher proof of the quality of the work they do and their true attention to detail. Don't even think about going anywhere else!

    My bike is in great shape now thanks to Mack's!! I called around and everyone had a much longer…read moretimeline. The people that work there are so knowledgeable and treat you with respect. No down talking here!!

After significant research into an issue I was having with my saddle, I went into Velosmith because according to the Selle Italia website they are a dealer participating in the idmatch (a "30 second" fitting procedure) and saddle test experience. The person I spoke with at the shop was friendly and helpful (although he was very quick to mention the $325 fitting that was a very important part of figuring out any type of saddle issue), but suggested that I contact their fitting expert to learn more about the demo program (same thing as the saddle test), so I left and contacted her by email. In that exchange the fitter was very nice, but pointed out immediately that the demo program is only for those who have gone through the $325 fitting experience. While I do believe there can be significant value in having a professional fitting. I just don't think I need one in this scenario because I've already run through most of the troubleshooting steps on my own to narrow down the potential causes (the Internet is a fabulous thing). I had really hoped that Velosmith would be that perfect boutique bike shop in a convenient location, and I would have been happy to pay more for that personalized expertise. But that wasn't the case. Instead of a premium experience, I was treated to a hard "mandatory" up sell (albeit in very friendly terms) for something I didn't want, or need.

    The owner, Mike, is really outgoing and super helpful, and I don't feel any buying pressure when…read moreI'm in the store. It's like a used bookstore of sporting equipment, which feels very comfortable. Yesterday I stopped in looking for a free-standing pull-up bar, on a whim that they might have it, and lo and behold they had a Power Tower that was exactly what I needed. Mike was very can-do and cleared out a space for me to try it out, adjusting the height so it would work for me (I'm 6'7", hence the need for a pull-up higher than a door frame bar), and gave me plenty of space and no pressure to try it out. I bought it on the spot. I knew it probably wouldn't fit in my car and was only there for groceries at the Valli's supermarket in the same shopping center, and asked if I could could pick it up tomorrow (today) and Mike worked out when he'd have it disassembled by in time for me, and then offered to drop it off at my place at the end of the day for free (given I live relatively close in South Evanston), which was amazing and I took him up on it. This morning I woke up and couldn't get the idea of doing pull-ups at home out of my head, and stopped by at 10:30 am just after they opened, and Mike was not at all surprised to see me, was very ready to disassemble the item and try to load it into my car, and sure enough my car was too small. He then, unbelievably, offered to drive it over to my place on the spot. I was incredulous that he'd give me that kind of time during the business day. Besides this exceptional customer service experience (I hope I don't get Mike in trouble with customers asking for home delivery! ), they also have great selection and I've gotten a used skateboard there for my daughter and water bottles. When my daughter gets old enough to play sports, I'm sure I'll be back. And as I'm kitting out my home gym setup, this will be my first stop.
