| - A few weeks ago I decided that since I live and work off the greenbelt in Scottsdale that I should ride my bike to work a few days a week. The hubs & I scoured the Valley for an affordable bike, but had a hard time finding anything outside of Target/Walmart that was under $500. For someone who had an idea to start something new, with no idea if I'd stick with it, $500 was quite an investment.
So we finally decided to pick up a $200 bike from Walmart (don't hate me), figuring that if I really did ride it often, in two years or so I could move up to the big-kids $500 bikes - and know that the money isn't wasted.
Well, you get what you pay for. My fabu little bike was changing gears alllll on its own (isn't that cute?) as I rode, and twice the chain decided it was over the whole thing and jumped off completely. I was getting sick of nearly dying, so I figured maybe my little $200 walmart assembled bike had some 'issues'.
From a friends recommendation I decided to stop by Bob's to see if they would see what the heck was going on. I came in on a busy Thursday and Dale helped me out immediately. He was very nice and supported me in not spending much on a bike to start out, and offered to take a look at the bike & see what he could do. He took the bike back, and within 10 minutes had adjusted the cables & gears to the point that the bike was behaving beautifully! I was so happy, and asked Dale how much I owed him - and he said not to worry about it. Just come see him when / if I needed a new tired or an adjustment.
Well I am now telling everyone I see just how great Dale & this shop is. Honest guys, straight forward and just really nice to boot.
GO TO BOB'S!!
