| - The Ahwatukee Global Bikes is my go-to local bike shop (LBS). I've purchased my last two bicycles at Global, and I have my bikes serviced there, too. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. When I recently decided I was in the market for a new road bike, Doug helped me to identify the kind of riding I'd be doing, and he got me into the right size and style bike. I even managed to score my new Tarmac during the model-year-end clearnace sale, and Doug even recommended a slightly less-expensive model based on my needs. The new bike came with a $50 fit credit which covered a basic fitting. The fit was a cool experience. Doug took the time to understand my riding style. I got set up on the fluid trainer, and he carefully measured for seat and handlebar settings. I feel more comfortable and more efficient in the saddle after his adjustments. The service guys I've worked with are also exceptional. When I needed to have my rear hub repacked, Adrian patiently showed me how the bearings worked. When I picked up my new Tarmac, Evin helped me with last-minute adjustments, and when I had to improvise my own adjustments to the front derailleur, he was quick to double check (and, thankfully, correct) my work. When I needed a cheap replacement rear wheel for the backup bike, Kevin helped me find a rebuilt part that didn't break the bank. Aside from the warranty and the fit credit, my new bike also comes with service for life, and that's quite a deal! I think it's important to support my LBS, and I'm glad that Global Bikes is there.
