My husband and I were staying in East Village and we stumbled across Rath Bicycle on a Friday…read moreafternoon while browsing through the pop up shops. We were immediately drawn to Laurie and her amazing customer service. She was very understanding of our time constraints and provided us with a map and key spots to visit while we were riding bikes along the Bow River. Unfortunately, 15 minutes after we left on our bikes, we were stuck in a terrential downpour. We ended up stranded at a restaurant until we decided to brave the rain and return the bikes. Laurie offered to let us make up our time if we came back on Sunday. We did just that! We had a great ride and really enjoyed being able to see more of the city by bicycle. We would highly recommend Rath Bicycle!!

Like some of the others have commented I was not happy with their bait and switch pricing. I bought…read moreonline, then was contacted by CC who said the price was higher and I would have to pay the difference. CC says the original price was a "mistake" and pointed out their weasel words buried somewhere in their website. Don't get suckered into paying more than the advertised price at CC! From online reviews this problem seems to have a bit of a pattern with them. If this happens to you get your money back and spend elsewhere.

Within a few months there was a recall advising the bike was not to be ridden. I asked for a refund or replacement and I willing to take a loss from or some assistance they simply said not our problem call Specialized. They are quick to take your money not so quick to stand by what they sell. My wife has an electric bike she cannot ride until Specialized figures out a solution. We are now one year in without a bike. I am calling Specialized and considering legal action against the Bikeshop. Buy your bike anywhere but the Bikeshop.

I was told they could not hold it and to buy online. It sold before I finished work. After I left feedback, their team texted me to apologize and promised they would train their staff better on holding procedure. On Wednesday night, their website showed two of these bikes back in stock. Following their previous instructions, I purchased one immediately and my card was processed. On Thursday, a manager contacted me to cancel the order, claiming someone else bought it first. When I expressed my intense frustration at being misled twice on a $3,000 purchase, the staff was dismissive. When I requested to speak to the owner, the owner called me back simply to defend his broken inventory system and shift all blame away from his business. Taking a customer's money for an item you do not have, and having two issues in a very short time frame is unacceptable. If you are looking to make a major financial investment in a bike, go to a shop that has a functional website and respects your time and interest in the "lifestyle" that is being promoted.

WARNING: Be careful of what you are buying here. I bought a bike (over $7k) only to get home and…read morerealize there is damage to it that I didn't spot initially. When trying to register the bike the serial number didn't match with the components. Bow had no explanation and agreed to correct the issues. Then they slipped me lesser major components that that I didn't realize until several months later. Their reasoning is that the manufacturer has a clause of "PLEASE NOTE THAT, BASED ON COMPONENT AVAILABILITY AND OTHER FACTORS, SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE". This was for parts that are listed as "highlights" of the bike. The parts replaced are $590 less costly. To make matters worse, Bow tells me that I should take it up with the manufacturer. As the authorized reseller I would expect them to represent the manufacturer and go to bat for the customer. The problem is that they messed up the bike in the first place and pieced it back together on their own after getting caught. This was my experience. I should have listened to friends whom had talked about their bad reputation before. Mileage and frustrations may be different for you.
