Update:
I was in a serious collision. Martin inspected the bike, made some adjustments, disposed of damaged parts and installed replacements, and advised me on subtle but unthreatening damage to the frame. Restored my confidence, and as usual after a Hoopdriver tune-up, the bike rides like a dream. Great place.
From 2014:
I have had two bikes built up at Hoopdriver. The owner treated me with friendliness, good humour, patience and courtesy. The builds are beautiful. He used parts I sourced from alternate locations without issue. He (and his terrific mechanic) found some very creative ways to work with the quirky frames I brought to him. I do business with several bike shops (I like to spread the love), but Hoopdriver is my favourite.
