Rule of Thumb Number 1, etc. ...
Q: How much should I spend on a bicycle, anyway?
A: At least as much as you spent on your television, for starters. Your bicycle can do for you what your television and couch cannot: make you healthy and fit. Seriously, if you spent $350 on your down-time T.V., spend at least as much on your recreational ride. Discern bicycle quality first, rather than brand-names, and then choose.
Comment: The Tricky Trap - You may say, "I'll buy a cheap bike now, and see if I like it first." Of course, most people don't buy the top-of-the-line television, either, but even far fewer buy the cheapest black & white 13" model. That just about insures that you won't like it. I call that bad insurance. Try that, and see how good your next Super Bowl party turns out. The same can be said for your cycling experience. Plus, you can't upgrade junk or put lipstick on a lobster. In fact, the quality has gotten just so low on many department store bicycles recently, that it's as if certain countries are sending us their scrap metal in the mere shape of a bicycle, and I mean it!
Q: What, exactly, is a tune-up, and just what is it that we do? Did you ever ask yourself, or anyone else, that question? Curious minds want to know!
A: We handle every bike, no matter its condition, or value, in the same, caring manner. First, we degrease and clean your bicycle, so that we don't work all the grime in. Then, we re-lubricate and polish it. Next, we straighten, adjust, tighten, and align everything, true the wheels, and, finally, inspect your bicycle for any last minute issues, and note them, if applicable. You receive your calendar-year guarantee on the final product, and we're done.
Comment: No two tune-ups offered by different shops are comparable. Every shop does their own version, so you can't just compare them by calling around, especially on price. Try ours once and you'll never go anywhere else again. You won't have to. If you don't think your bike works better than ever after we finish, we'll do it over until you do. It's guaranteed.
Here is a recent testimonial, among the many, on that one:
