Amazing service! I brought in a bike to be assembled at 1pm and he had it done in only a couple hours at an incredible price. He was super nice and accommodating too when it needed some adjustments after. I highly recommend. All around a fantastic experience and a great guy.

Great and responsible guy I dropped off my electric bike to fix a wobbles tire and he got it done in the same day!

Amy C 05/05/2022

It’s 2022.
Tim posted a bike for sale that I have been looking for since 2001 or 2002.
He was amazing over the phone making sure this bike would fit me (I’m short, it’s a bike for short women). From previous yelp reviews and the way he spoke to me over the phone, I trusted him completely. I sent an online $ transfer without any concerns. Within a few days, the bike was packed, shipped, and he sent me the tracking number. It arrived so well packaged, every part of the frame and components were exceptionally well protected. I contacted him as soon as I got it and over the phone, he helped me reassemble the pedals, saddle,
handlebars, and brakes. I have truly waited 20 years searching weekly on line for this very rare bike. Tim made the transaction super easy and I am so grateful. Do NOT hesitate to buy a bike online from Tim. Fabulous!

So weather it’s a new bike build, complete tune up/overhaul, or disassembly and ship, we can handled it all with fast, friendly service, and competitive pricing! Contact us now for an appointment and quick turnaround time.

04/18/22: Powder Canyon MTB Ride:

I Finally was able to get out last week and get a MTB ride in over at Powder Canyon up in the Puente Hills Preserve. What a beautiful Place! Lot’s of gorgeous views, plenty of trail options, and some pretty good climbing if you so choose. Mostly wide, fire/access roads, with some canopy cover at the lower part of the hill but you get quite exposed on the upper part of trails. Best for and early morning or later afternoon ride, hike or run. Super easy to get to, less then 15 minute drive from downtown Brea, and plenty of designated parking with no fee!

Quick turnaround times, safe, responsible service. Enjoy, love, we will get through this…
