These guys should be selling guns, not bikes. How sad to see such a joyless group involved with such a joyful machine. The guy in the front who "fixes" bikes needs to be fixed himself.

Bought a Mountain Bike a few weeks ago from Matt. He was very patient with all the questions I asked before dropping a bunch of cash on a really nice bike. Very helpful with everything. I went back today for the tune-up he recommended I do after a month. I spoke to the blonde girl, super nice, who put me next in line for the service guy, who answered more questions for me, with no attitude. I needed a tire that wasn't in stock but will be replaced in less than a week at no charge. Overall great service. Yes, the store is a little cramped, but is thats not really a big deal to me in a bike store.
