Unless you enjoy being ripped off, lied to, and yelled at... DO NOT GO TO THIS BIKE SHOP.
DO NOT GO TO THIS BIKE SHOP. I strongly do NOT recommend this bike shop. I have been there 4 times and each time has been terrible. The first time I went to get all my brake pads replaced after a terrifying experience that left me with no brakes going down a busy tourist bridge... He made an appointment so that I could pick it up the following day. When I arrived, everything appeared in order and I paid the fee of 25Euros... I remember him not offering a receipt and acting very smug about it but I just thought perhaps he charged me too much but I didn't want to argue about it, I just wanted a safe bike... I went back a few times to pump up my tires ect, and each time the shop assistants were totally lovely.. but the owner would always find some way to yell at me and shoo me out go the shop as quick ad possible... Only two and a half months after replacing all my brake pads, I once again had no braking power and would often find myself in terrifying situations.. Although this time it appeared to be a problem with the actual connection of the front brake.. So I still went back to the same shop because it's close to home and (when the owner isn't yelling at you) the service is quite good... As I'm explaining that I have a problem with my front brake disconnecting itself, and then the back brake isn't strong enough to stop me, the owner starts flipping out and saying that 'the back brake is one year old' and 'I have no guarantee'... This confuses me but I try to look past it because I just want him to fix my brakes! I'd rather not live in fear of death each time I get on my bike... But he refused to do anything to my bike! Even after offering him money to just fix the problem!!! .. So I go home thoroughly upset and confused and still with a broken bike.. but then it dawns on me, he flipped out about that back brake because he never replaced it, even though he charged me the full fee.... I tried to reason with him several times but it was pointless (especially without the receipt)... Nevertheless, this is not how people should be treated. Unless you enjoy being ripped off, lied to and yelled at each time you get your bike repaired... please go somewhere else.
