STAY AWY

by Techguy2k9 at Citysearch

This is one of the WORST bike shops I have ever been in, there service department is a joke, as is their pricing. Theres this old lady at the service desk who pulls the prices out of her @$$. Thanks to this they are way overpriced, for instance i went to buy some spokes, they wanted to charge $1.25 for a spoke!, I can buy a pack of 75 online for 30 bux!. I also needed some new QR Skewers, they offered me a set for 9 dollars, but when I said i only needed one, the lady told me that the one skewer was 9 dollars, like i said she likes to rip customers off and pull prices out her @$$. Anyway stay away from this place, I recommend Larrys Cycle shop on flatbush ave instead, MUCH better prices and service!

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything

Very mediocre service

by IanG at Citysearch

I brought my bike for a tune up. Usually I would clean and maintenance it myself, but my girlfriend was not thrilled at the idea of bike grease around the house, so I decided to spend the $50 for the tune up. Basically, I was disappointed by the service provided - they didn't clean the gears (there was still a lot of dirt in there), they didn't provide those little plastic protection caps that cover the air intake on the tube. They just did the bare minimum, if that. Not at all what I am used to. My bike is very simple to tune, it's a fixed gear bike. Honestly, if you are an experienced biker this place is not worth your money. If you are new to biking and will be impressed by the bare minimum then by all means I recommend it. Very very mediocre.

• Pros: Didn't break my bike
• Cons: Did the bare minimum

good service

i've been in and out of roy's service dept for 15 years now, and never had anything to complain about - the guys and girls working there know what they're doing and are willing to go the exta few steps to help in any way they can. i try to take care of most of my bike maintenance myself, however when a job is outside my expertise, this is the only place in brooklyn i would trust it to - riding the busy streets of brooklyn and manhattan i can't afford to have something critical on the bike malfunction in the wrong place at the wrong time.

i never bought a bike from them, so i can't rate the sales portion of the shop.

• Pros: service, proficiency
