Bike and Board-Thumbs Up
I had an old Sears bike gathering dust and rust in the basement of my building. Last week I dragged it to the new bike shop in Vanderbilt (the last time it had been tuned up, 8 years ago, I’d taken it to Dixon’s, which did a crummy job, had to take it back twice,…
I had an old Sears bike gathering dust and rust in the basement of my building. Last week I dragged it to the new bike shop in Vanderbilt (the last time it had been tuned up, 8 years ago, I’d taken it to Dixon’s, which did a crummy job, had to take it back twice, they charged me $100.)
Well, the guys at Bike and Board took my old beater and turned it into a beauty. The rust is gone, the gears are sparkling, it rides better than it has in decades. My hat (well, my helmet) is off to them.
Total cost–including two new tires which had to be special ordered–was $120, which seemed just about right, considering the original condition of my bike.
I enthusiastically recommend them!
I went over there with two flat tires and the handle bars twisted sideways and they just checked out the tires (no holes) and filled up the tires and straightened out the handlebars and didn’t charge me anything!!! I’ll be back to buy a helmet.
Yat go yuht faan lai ge la!
I thought you were still in HK!!!!
Good to hear! Bicycle Station used to drive me crazy. The BS folks were super nice, but it seemed like they never touched my bike until the moment I showed up to pick it up, then they would do a half-assed job and tell me to bring the bike back if I wasn’t satisfied. I’ve moved on to Recycle-a-Bike in Dumbo as they seem more conscientious (and equally nice.)
