I was looking to get my partner a new bike on his birthday as his old Mongoose is over 15 years old. He could care less about what he rides but I think it's time for an upgrade for him so I've been doing a lot of research as I know my bikes even though I'm nowhere near a professional cyclist.
Heard about the brand Jamis and saw a lot of hem around downtown Toronto so I was googling it and found this place. After looking through their website, locked down to the Trail X Sport and it's Inferno Red is colour and is his favourite. Mind you it's no easy job when you are buying a bike for someone needless to say we are in different size so I did my best to take down all the measurements on his current bike and went over to try buy a bike. Steve (I hope I get your name right) is so casual which makes me feel very comfortable with no pressure. He gave me good suggestions on what size of bike I should get and willing to swap pedals with a minimal upgrade fees. Since they don't have that size built, he was going to build me one from brand new in the box.
So we went to pick up the bike today with my f course a surprise to my partner as he was not aware that I am getting him a new bike. Steve got the bike out from the basement and OMG, it looks gorgeous!!!! He spend some time to explain to my partner what to look out for during the first few rides etc, friendly yet professional. Thank you so much Steve for building such a gorgeous bike for my partner and I'm sure we will be back for other needs! Highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a bike and they have great selection that will for sure fit one's budget!
