Bruce K's Bikeworks defies summary capsulation as a bike store, much less a legitimate business. In my time in champaign I was twice denied service by Bruce. Both times involved refusal to work on my high end road bicycle on the grounds that he didn't sell that brand, he then went on to compare it to a Wal-Mart Magna. I thoroughly enjoyed all these experiences and appreciate Bruce for being a unique dude.
If you can get him to work on your bike, the guy is a magician. He un-taco'd my wheel that had been run over by a car and somehow got it perfectly true again. I was speechless, then became even more taken aback when he told me the price...super cheap. He also replaced spokes for me and sold me some tools at a good price.
Given my persisting disdain for Wurst...I mean Durst, I am a stalwart supporter of Bikeworks. He also has a lot of cool shit to browse if he doesn't yell at you for looking around. Most of that cool shit is Mapei and Telekom gear from the 90s that he never sold, or refused to sell for some unknown reason.
Worth the trip!
Reading all the negative reviews about this place makes me miss it that much more. I will be stopping by the next time I am in town!
