      Looking for a part that LBS seldom carry and was directed here. The place has plethora of bike parts and great used bikes! Bob was very helpful and kind to address my current bike issue. Found the part and it fits! Highly recommended to visit the shop and spend some time. You never know? You might build an inexpensive bike for your family!

      owner is super rude, i came to purchase a bike (aka give him hundreds of dollars) and he rudely said that nothing is on sale & laughed and said he's working on some now and they'd be outside if he had anything... i said i literally wouldn't know cuz i haven't been here before.. just came to check it out. won't be returning or buying a bike here

      Bought an 18 inch kids bike from a retail giant, and it was put together badly with bent rims. Took it to the BikeSmith with the new rims from the manufacturer. He Changed the rims for me added a kickstand and tuned up everything the retail store had done wrong. Fast service, great guy. And very reasonably priced. Thanks bikesmith!

      Bob is awesome. Great place to get your bike tuned up for a reasonable cost. Also a great place to get a new bike. Or an old new bike. :) I took my sons bike in for a tune up and ended up trading my bike in for a 1976 Schwinn. Love it!

      Fast turn around. Killer job and great price. Got a normal tune up and the bike feels great now. Cool old school beach business.

      Bobs shop is a tad crowded but his work and prices are excellent . Bob just likes working on bicycles. Across from Better Buzz on Garnet and Lamont.

      No communication skills. Ignorant. Overpriced.

      Called on a part. Told me to bring in frame. I said i already know what I need and wanted to check if he had in stock. He says he is busy with customer.

      Can't recommend this place enough! Owner is very professional and friendly, and clearly knows his stuff. Brought my bike in yesterday thinking I needed to have a crank replaced. The owner was able to repair the original crank so that both cranks are still matching, and got the bike back to me by this evening. This place will definitely be my first stop for any future bike repair needs!

      Bob did an excellent job tuning up and cleaning up my old Schwinn. The second I rolled it into the shop he was able to tell me the make, model and history of my bicycle. In addition to the tune up, he also shined up some of my chrome and fixed a place where one of my cables was banging on my fender. If you're looking for someone who knows bikes and who also has great attention to detail, Bob is your guy.
