| - You can always tell apart the bike snobbery because their reviews usually start with "Bilt sucks" or something along those lines. Yeah, Cycle Gear pushes the Bilt stuff, it's their house brand, not the best, by along shot, but certainly not the worse gear i've come across. I'm an experienced and avid rider and I own some Bilt gear, I bought it with the understanding that you get what you pay for,.....Hasn't disappointed yet. I have also purchased higher end gear from these guys, their service is awesome. I like being able to run down the road and know that they're likely going to have what I need or want. I am a fan of e-commerce, but I have to say that most of my online purchases for bike gear or parts have resulted in utter heart break or utter pains in the ass. CG's Pricing seems fair as compared to other local shops and even online guys. Walk into Cycle Gear, give your eyes a minute to adjust to the general "disorganized" feel of the store, look around and behind and to the side of all the "Bilt" stuff, and you're likely to find a really cool piece of kit to add to your collection. Or, just grab some inexpensive "house" brand gear and leave feeling good about still having a few bucks leftover to spend on a fancy cup of coffee after your next ride.
