I took my bike there for a simple switch out of my pedals and buy a new pump, came home and my cable housing unit was cut in half. They stated that they could not have caused this to happen yet. My bike was not that way when I brought it in. Stay far far away. read more

Every time I bring my bike(s) for service, the finish product is something to behold, be it a routine tune up or bar tape replacement. Every job performed with utmost care and such exquisite attention to detail. Thank you guys!! read more

See all

Love this place. Staff is very friendly, and knowledgeable. Super chill bike shop that has a solid inventory and cool stuff. Check them out!

Excellent service, selection, and helpful advice. It's great to have found a small, family run business that checks all the boxes! read more

I buy most of my cycling good from Schwab Cycles, and like dealing with them. I bought a gravel bike from them a few years back and love it. They are the shop where I go for bike tune ups, too. read more

Bruce and Walt built me the perfect bike and wheels for my long-distance touring needs. I got the right fit and the right Mosaic model frame, and the components were all matched perfectly. Very happy with the build of the HED rims. Can't beat these guys for experience, knowing how to do it right and getting it done. read more

Great little store. Came in with an issue with my tire. Service was quick and they were able to fix it on the spot for a good price. Had a great selection of bikes. read more

Schwab is an icon. Has been serving the biking community for literally decades. A family business that provides a real professional experience. It is my go to business for parts, repairs, equipment great coffee. Honest customer service. Their selection of bike extensive. If they don't have what you are looking for, they'll help out in finding helpful solutions. read more

Great family run shop. Always helpful and friendly and an incredible selection of bikes and gear in such a small and cozy shop. My favorite bike shop in Denver now. read more

I've been in here twice looking for some assistance with my bike tires. Both times everyone was willing to help and got the job done quickly. They didn't even charge for readjusting my tires, brakes and handle bars. read more

Poor service. Couldn't hang the phone up quick enough. Didn't even have a chance to say "thank you" before I was hung up on - so I definitely will visit some other shops before, if ever, trying Schwab. read more

This shop has some really distasteful service I experienced after two visits. I brought my bike in for a new wheel and back de-railer diagnosis, was charged $200 for a new tire and told everything was good, I was back a week and a half later. The guys working there seemed upset that I had an arrived a few minutes prior to their 10am open on weekdays. the service was really condescending especially considering how out of shape these old men appeared. wish this wasn't the closest bike shop to me. read more

Wow. In a world that customer service is rare, Schwab Cycles blew me away. I was quoted pricing levels and a turnaround time frame when I dropped off my bicycle. Not only did they service my bicycle the same day, I was encouraged to ride my bike before leaving the shop. I had read previous reviews of this shop; the positive reviews are accurate. read more

Since moving over to the Molholm Two Creeks part of Lakewood (aka the Casa Bonita hood), Schwab Cycles has become my go-to neighborhood bike shop. I have purchased tires and taillights, had flats fixed, had them undo my attempts at making "minor" gear adjustments, and even sampled baked goods from the countertop. The family that own the place, and the people that work here, have consistently been extremely helpful and friendly. They listen to my concerns, and make relevant suggestions. I never feel like they are trying to upsell me unnecessarily. Prices are reasonable, and most of the time I've been there I've been able to get almost immediate service. They are extremely judgment-free, when it comes to the price of a customer's bicycle, or the riding skill of the bicyclist themselves. I think they truly exemplify what people really want from a neighborhood business. read more

I had bought a cruiser for my husband at Scwab Cycles back in the 90s and had a great experience. The location has changed but the staff are super welcoming. I needed service on my road bike, new tires and tubes. I called first to see if I would need to leave my bike or could have the work done quickly and they invited me in right away. The work was done immediately, with an affordable price and great charm from the technician. I ended up doing more shopping because their selection of accessories is so enticing. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Thank you! read more

Best Shop Around. Period. Knowledge base unsurpassed and always Friendly. Very reasonable pricing. read more

Schwab Cycles - Bikes Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

I totally recommend this place. Their lead times are shorter than competitors as are their turnaround times. Their rates are also much lower. The quality of the work has been perfect for me this far, I've had them handle 3 or 4 different tasks for me and when I pull the bike out I notice they had taken care of literally every detail. For a derailleur adjustment they screwed in the barrel adjuster before tweaking the gear cable *chefs kiss*, never one detail I've noticed them overlooking unlike the other shops in this area. read more

Finest bike shop in the area. Great service, extremely knowledgeable and ready to assist you when you walk in the door. Outstanding selection of bikes and parts. Tuneups, fittings and repairs. One of the last true brick and mortar bike shops. Highest recommendations! read more

Walt, Bruce and the rest of the staff at Schwab are knowledgeable, patient and experienced with all things bikes. Thanks for helping me with my last minute bike emergency today! read more

Schwab may be the best bike shop in the state. Frankly, their approach to service is refreshing. I'm a mountain biker who dabbles in road, and stopped in last week to ask a few questions about road bikes as I was considering upgrading to a new rig. Bruce spent about 30 minutes with me discussing the pros and cons of a number of different options for a new bike to new wheels, to minor upgrades to my existing bike. There was exactly Zero pressure to buy, and, more importantly, the info Bruce gave me was both insightful and accurate. I'm also very impressed with their approach to fitting bikes, and to ensuring that their customers find the perfect fit in bikes they sell (e.g. they give you 6 months after you buy a bike during which time you can swap out parts if you realize they don't work for you after you put them to the test). I have since recommended Schwab to all my roadie friends, and will continue to go here again and again for as long as they'll have me. read more

The Best! If you are interested in quality equipment, clothing and repairs, this is the best shop in Colorado by a long shot. Bruce and his employees are all very, very experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. I've been a customer for many years, and have never been disappointed. I trust them implicitly. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Came in with a busted tire with only 30 min til the shop closed and they fixed it up in no time with a smile!! read more

Schwab Cycles - Bikes Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

My husband loves this shop. He turned me on to it when I needed a new road bike and now I love it too. I'm an average rider but wanted to upgrade and didn't want to spend a fortune. Bruce mentioned he had a LiteSpeed that they had set up for a smaller woman and she had health issues and couldn't ride it. He sold it to us at SUCH a reasonable price. To this day, when my bike needs tuning or I have a problem I head to Schwab. My most recent experience was a shifting issue, they worked on it and called me the next day. Problem fixed and they charged me nothing because "you had this tuned with us this spring." Talk about above and beyond service! You can't go wrong here!! read more

I came here on recommendation of my normal shop (Salvagetti) for a professional bike fit. Since my normal shop only does basic fits they directed me here for a more in depth fit. They were awesome. My bike was already pretty dialed in but I wanted to get a professional opinion and help on a few things. Due to that it was pretty quick and cheap. they also tossed in a front derailleur adjust and quick rear spoke adjust with it. For a normal fit expect 1-2 hours and possibly a return trip for further dialing in. They also have the fancy fitting machines for when you are looking to buy a new bike. Great people there and very nice too. read more

I went in here looking for parts to convert my geared road bike to a single speed. The person who helped me gave me much more insight and suggestions than I found anywhere online. He also wasn't trying to sell me on a bunch of parts, but rather was giving me suggestions for reusing some of the components that were formerly part of the geared system in order to save me money. He ordered a couple of parts for me too that didn't require me paying for shipping and I returned the following day to pick up and pay for the parts. Compared to online prices, this shop is just a little inflated, but I expect this and am am willing to pay a little extra for the customer service. I can't speak for this shops ability to do maintenance or repair work on my bike. read more

Above and beyond customer care, service and honesty. We had a very expensive Parlee rolled over by a car and Big Ring in Golden where we bought it basically wanted the entire amount of our insurance claim and more to fix. Pretty much everything on the bike was ok except for the frame. I suggested Kim take it to Bruce because of the good things I've heard and he said the same thing as I thought. "Heck, everything looks completely functional so I'll just move it over to another frame and charge you ...". Basically it was 1/4 what Big Ring wanted. We are so happy with that service that I now pass 10 other bike shops to only use Schwab. Plus they have the coolest bikes in their store. Need a rare, vintage part? They've got it. Go there you won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent customer service! I had my first experience at Schwab cycles when I had an issue with my road bike wheel. The owner, Bruce, told me he needed a few days to look into it. I told him I commute to work on my bike so he loaned me a wheel so I could continue to ride. How nice! I ended up buying the wheel set. After my first ride on the new wheels I noticed my tire was rubbing on the frame. I took my bike back in and he got me in a new tire right away. They do a great job catering to your needs at a fair price. Also the cupcakes offered on Fridays are delicious! read more

I was pleased to find that they carry a CO2 inflater that works with non-threaded 12g cartridges (which cost a fraction of the new bike-industry-revenue-generating models). I'm glad I found this shop! They've been around for a few years, so I'm guessing I'm not the only one. My only complaint is that someone stole the light off of my trailer when I was parked in front of the shop. Ahh, Colfax. read more

What a great place!! This is the perfect place for serious riders- they were super knowledgeable! Now I can barely ride a bike, so my partner got me a 3-wheeler trike. We took it here to get it inspected and make sure it was safe. They were extremely thorough and it was ready in a few days. The best part- even thought this is a serious shop, they were not judgmental and very kind! What a supportive place for anyone! Shop Local! read more

This shop is all about the yuppy cyclist who love the spandex and high dollar bikes more that the ride itself. I purchased a bottom bracket for my single speed commuter bike. The mechanic took some measurement and ordered me one. A few days latter I instal it and upon tightening, the spindle would not spin freely. I took it back and some fat ass of a bike mechanic starts saying how I didn't know how to install a bottom bracket, As if it were rocket science? I went into the Track Shack yesterday and was sold the correct working bottom bracket in two minutes without any need for measurements. I also picked up a set of cranks. After installation every thing is perfect! read more

Thought I needed new tubes. They checked my tires and put air in the tires at no charge. Will definitely go back when I need bike work.

Wow! What a find! I was looking for a no nonsense shop and tried Schwabs. They are great....family shop, years in the business. Work was done on to, at estimated price. They treat you right! Thanks Schwabs!!! read more

This place is the real deal w/o the ego and attitude. If you are looking for straight forward professional customer service at more than reasonable prices this is the place. Very knowledgeable staff who do not try to push anything on you - rather help you understand what it is you need and what your options are. I have never felt like they are trying to push anything on you - a rare trait these days. I have gone to many different shops throughout the Denver metro area and these guys are simply the best. it's all about the service! read more

5+ stars. Answered CL posting for a consignment bike--for as much chaff as must sort through to glean wheat, don't know how else I would have found my way to front door. Bruce wouldn't just sell it to me without sophisticated meticulous computer measurement session. 3 decades experience: very finely tuned sense of critical analysis/mechanical adjustment/inventory selection. Enduring business ethics. Received far more value than price tag. Admirable that Doris woven into shop business. More like a therapeutic practice than retail. Absolutely could not ask for more. read more

Schwab Cycles is the only place I will ever go again for any bike needs. Its a drive for me. But every one is helpful and understands bikes. They will spend lots of time and interest to help find the best bike for you. I would consider myself a more serious rider. The other guy that gave it a bad review must brought his Huffy in from Walmart and excepted them to fix it. This is shop is geared for more serious riders. If you are this shop is very helpful and one of the better ones in town. read more

I'm new to Denver and new to cycling. Went to a few bike shops and then wondered into Schwab. I highly recommend this shop especially because of the owner, Bruce. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He doesn't try to upsell you and is willing to spend the time needed to make sure you get what you want. He did a custom fit for me and it really makes a difference. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Brought my road bike here after the nearby, large but respectable bike shop scratched their heads and said "try a new chainring or a campy chain", neither of which fixed the chronic overshifting in the front. These guys tracked it down: a small missing piece of plastic on the inside of the Record front shifter, cannibalizing it from a derailleur in the shop and epoxying it so it won't ever come off. The new chain they installed was skipping on my worn rear cassette and they even gave me a less-worn loaner until I could order a new one. And, they installed some bar end caps that I didn't even notice for a week. Very competent and I did not feel overcharged; in fact the bill was small enough for me to have them rebuild one of my shifters, which I would consider an impulse buy. read more

Schwab Cycles is great! I got my new bike here because they really take the time to make sure you get the bike that is right for you and that you'll love riding. They pay attention to all the small details, and really know their stuff. Bruce was especially awesome. My husband and my dad also got their bikes here and all three of us highly recommend this place. read more

I had a set of wheels rebuilt here, after 100 miles the rear wheel starting coming apart, one of the nipples completely unscrewed from the spoke and was rolling around inside the rim, called they said "oh I guess that spoke didn't get enough spoke prep", upon replacing the nipple I discovered that on the drive side there was a lot of spoke thread showing on the nipples inside the rim and then discovered that some of the spokes on the drive side where at there limit on thread count, took the wheel to another long time bike shop in central Denver, turns out schwab had used the same size spokes for both nondrive and drive side (contrary to the manufactures recommendation) resulting in a wheel that can now neither be trued, dished and is out of round. I am going to have the wheel rebuilt, odd this used to be the best place for wheel repair/rebuild. read more

The staff at Schwab Cycles was very helpful. I was looking for a specific bike and Doris, the owner, placed a special order for me. There was some miscommunication on the price and they still honored the original price I was quoted. Once I arrive we realized that the bike would not fit in my car, so the guys had to take the front wheel and basket off to get it to fit right after they had put the whole thing together. They stayed friendly and helpful through the entire process. Highly recommended. read more
