Bike Nuts

Was in the market for a used bike and came across this store. After initial phone conversation it was pretty clear that this shop had some great deals and I came in few days later on my lunch break. Shop owner George and store employee Leonard were both very accommodating and friendly. I purchased a new bike for the price of a used one and was so happy with the transaction that ended up purchasing another bike and a carrier for my wife and kids. George also gave me ton of helpful tips and treated us very well. We didn’t have a bike rack at the time and he even offered to drop off the bikes at our place the next day.
Highly recommend!

Picked up an excellent Specialized at an amazing price! Super nice and helpful sales guy. They has a great selection of small bikes. Very pleased with my service and purchase. Would definitely recommend!

This is a preliminary 3 stars rating. I live very close by this shop and drive by it almost everyday. On my local rides from home I usually pass by and on some rides I had stopped and looked through the window. Their open hours are limited so I never timed it right (closed Sundays). I finally stopped in one day just to browse and chat. Since this shop opened I had hoped it was going to be that friendly local bike shop (LBS) where you could come in chat, pick up parts, and accessories, and maybe get a tune up or a more technical service. It just doesn’t have that LBS vibe, maybe not yet, maybe not ever. They sell bikes and do service and repair. I went in one day just to check it out. It took more than a few minutes for the shopkeeper to acknowledge my presence. Granted he was with a customer. Finally, he asked if there was something he could help me with in a way that suggested he was somewhat busy. I asked about tune up and he showed me the price list. That was it. I had been browsing the road bikes thinking of upgrading from my Specialized Sirrus. But I’m not so sure I’d purchase here. I may check in again. The location here has a lot of potential for a real LBS. It’s at the Perrinville four-​way stop and I know for a fact that a lot of cyclers pass by here especially on the weekend and a few live locally. My recommendation is for this shop to strive to be that friendly LBS. A bike rack installed out front would help, if the landlord would allow it. A tentative and perhaps generous 3 stars until I check in again.

Nice little shop… large selection of used bikes, look good as new. Employees were attentive and helpful, outfitted me on to a nice hybrid at half of what I’d pay at REI. Even offered free tune ups for a a year. A + in my book!

Inquired about this bike they have listed on Craigslist Seattle. This bike is WAY WAY WAY over priced not just according to bike blue book but compared to buying new. The bike is 13 years old and in nice condition but they want $ 800.00 for it. I was told they are FIRM because it’s a «Gary Fisher» The bike blue book value is only $ 300.00 so they obviously are hunting for a sucker. Also if you don’t pay them in cash and use a credit card or debit card they charge you a 2.5% fee??? What reputable business does that? I don’t know of any!
So I just went and bought a high end bike that sold new for $ 1,500.00 also in mint condition and newer from a private party for $ 350.00 not some outrageous over the top price.
BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS THEY THINK PEOPLE DON’T USE THE INTERNET TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK. THEY ARE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING, BIKE NUUUUUUUUUUUTZZZZ!

I bought a bike there recently and George was awesome. He didn’t try and force me into buying anything and was very knowledgeable. Came w 1 year free tuneups as well. Recycled Cycles in Seattle offered something similar only not for a full year. Great selection, will be back

Always good to have another option for a bike shop close by. Went by at 4pm on a Friday afternoon and there was a sign on the door that said «Be back shortly. Call or text if you are waiting.» The wording implies that somebody is close enough they can get there fairly quick if needed, but are doing something deemed more important (happy hour at The Hook, perhaps?). With already limited hours customers shouldn’t have to chase them to open.

I am sure I will give it another shot but will not go far out of the way.

I inquired about a bike listed on Craigslist and they responded back with an answer that seemed a little demeaning. I will copy and paste the response below.
«Bicycle blue book is the most inaccurate bicycle price guide. Do you really think prices in the most bike friendly city like Seattle would same as in Memphis? Our prices are firm.»
The bike was priced at $ 750 and I simply asked if they would consider $ 550 as this was book value for the bike I was considering, it was a used bike and that was my answer they gave me. Perhaps questioning the value of one of their bikes was offensive in some way.
