I blew a flat and the proprietor was gracious enough to let me change the tube in his store, use his air compressor, and he event leant me a presta valve adapter. Never have I seen such a display of Christian charity. You just don’t get that anymore!

One of the strangest businesses I’ve ever been to. Walk inside and there’s two Hispanic men at the front and an elderly Asian man at the back. The Hispanic men just stare at me and the Asian man is inattentive. After some considerable difficulty explaining to him that I don’t just need a tube change(my tire was punctured) and some confusion over what operations he’s capable of performing, he puts a new tube/tire on for $ 28 in all of ten minutes while I eat a slice of pizza next door. I’m on my way and don’t have to walk 45 mins to pick the thing up the next day. What can I say? Can’t argue with those results.

Yup, the«kind older Asian man» that other reviewers speak of is pretty much the shit. He stocks decent parts and sells them at more than fair prices. I ride a pretty flash vintage road bike. One that people would say«sweet frame dude» and stuff like that if I took it into Affinity or another more hip shop. But this guy could care less, his job has nothing to do with making you feel cool or forwarding bike culture; he fixes bikes. New tire and tube change, $ 29 cash, while I waited, none of that come-back-tomorrow-and-they-actually-haven’t-touched-it nonsense. You’re not gonna beat that price/service. Maybe he’s not the most cheerful guy, and they shop probably doesn’t keep regular hours, but what do you expect from an aging down-to-earth bike mechanic?

I went to a lot of bike shops in Williamsburg one day and ended up at this one. Finally, I was able to choose from a great selection of reasonably-priced new bikes of all types. The proprietor was one of those strange types who almost seems like he’s upset with you for wanting to spend money at his place and asking questions about the bikes, but in the end, it worked out fine and and I’m glad I chose to buy my bike here. You might want to do some research on what kind of bike you want before and after your visit, though, since he wasn’t the most pleasant helper when deciding what bike to buy or explaining the difference between bikes. He’s not mean or terribly unpleasant or anything… it was just not a wonderful sales experience. I got a really nice, new, slick-looking bike for $ 300 and I had no problem paying via credit card. My advice to you: start here instead of ending here like I did. You’ll probably save a lot of time if you do!

I had a very pleasant experience — the kind, older asian man replaced my rusty bike cable with a new one in 10 minutes for $ 10. He was very accommodating, but did prefer I pay in cash. The place was clean, especially compared to Nelson’s on Bushwick Ave.

Perfectly reasonable place to take your bike for simple repairs. It’s not as quick or as cheap as nearby Nelson’s Bicycles, but the proprietor seems to keep somewhat more predictable open hours. Kind, older Asian man hooked me up with a new innertube and tire in about 10 minutes for $ 22. Limited assortment of inexpensive bike accessories, wide range of children’s bikes.
