| - I see some great reviews here, but I have to say that I did not experience the friendliness here that others have. I walked in with my son, with a couple bikes in the back of my truck to possibly sell. I walked in and looked directly at the gentleman behind the counter and gave the obligatory nod, smile and hello. the nod, the smile, and hello were NOT returned. I inquired about possibly selling my bikes. He didn't even look at them, and they were nicer than the used bikes i saw in the parking lot. He immediately snapped back that HE WAS NOT BUYING BIKES RIGHT NOW. okay buddy, relax, i just asked. There ARE USED BIKES IN FRONT, my bad dude! I had a badly warped rim on my mountain bike. I asked him about that, he said he could fix it. I brought it in and he said it was shot. I figured that and I purchased a rim from him. Thought he was gonna replace it for me. NO DICE. He just handed me the rim and told me to have a nice day. He OBVIOUSLY did not like me as a customer, so I guess I have no reason to go back. Thanks alot buddy. I'll buy my kid a brand new bike elsewhere, now that I've sold his gently used, but outgrown of Mongoose bicycle on craigslist. I won't be buying the $240 Diamondback bicycle he saw in your shop, at your shop. A little friendliness goes along way. This seems pretty common in the bicycle shop world.
