| - Sweet Pete's was a bit intimidating when I first went in. The staff seemed really cool. Too cool for me. However, there was a mountain bike that I loved, and I went in and scoped it out for a couple of months - humming and hawing and trying to convince myself that I needed this bike. Eventually, I just couldn't justify spending that much and ended up buying a lower end, but still very nice, mountain bike down the street at Broadway cycle. Sweet Pete's had similarly priced bikes to the one I purchased, but I couldn't let the bike I really wanted see what I was doing.
I did end up buying my road bike here after looking all over the city. The staff are very knowledgeable and I really liked their brand selection (kona, giant and trek as well as some other speciality brands). Also, Broadway cycle, which I think has better service and prices, didn't have a bike in my size.
I got my road bike tuned up here earlier this year and they did a good job. The service department is very busy, especially in the spring, so it is worth calling ahead and making an appointment.
Broadway has a way better service deal for new bikes than Sweet Petes. Broadway will service a bike you buy there for 5 years for free. Sweet Pete's offered the first tuneup for free then you are on your own.
