an if you don't like it, too bad.
everyone else go to West End Bikes, that's who WB once rode for and rode with Dave Boyd (Primal Quest triathlete) at their rides. You must know the one i'm speaking of, right duck face? if not, it's the one all the bike barn riders and employees go to to get fast. anything like that ever happen with bike barn? didn't think so.
and west end has real riders and mechanics with real experience and they go out of their way to get you want you want and make sure the customer is happy and that customer becomes their life long riding friend, from what everyone else i've ever ridden in houston has said and how they have treated me, with respect and decency. can't say the same for bike barn so i won't. i shoulda bought my bike from West End. that is where the bike that i purchased from bike barn goes for it's fixings.
if not for that kind of store with that kind of dedication to cycling, i might just have quit riding altogether by now as all hope is not lost as me being me, i hang on only by a thread of hope.
*disclaimer, WB holds no opinion about any bike store as he likes them all, those are just MY words and beliefs. phuck bike barn. |
Roadhouse, I was offering their site as a reference because they do have a good section on articles for people who are just getting started. I remember 6yrs ago being out on that limb. I'm not affiliated with them and I don't ride their Saturday/Sunday rides but instead ride with another group who are lots of fun. I will agree they have some issues but it's not going to stop me from dropping in if I need some Gu or a spare tube.
I'm a Cannondale fan myself and btw I'm female and you were quite rude and this thread is about helping each other out. Share the knowledge not the hate.
