Valley Bikes - Carmel Indiana

franksapper said:

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Valley Bikes in Carmel,
Indiana this past Winter and Spring. Mike McDonald and his family run a
very nice shop.

I spent the day Yesterday and watched Drew (the son) put together a
beautiful custom powerder-coated Blue Bacchetta Stradda, from bare frame
to finished bike.

Their hospitality and honesty is one quality that I admire.

I also had the opportunity to meet Ian Sims of Greenspeed. He brought
one of his new G-3 trikes to demonstrate. His presence brought many
onlookers and customers to Valley Bikes. As a matter of fact, Mike had a
great day of sales.

I highly recommend anyone in the MidWest to stop by Valley Bikes in
Carmel Indiana. It is located right on the Monon Trail and there is a
great specialty hamburger restauarant right across the track.

You wont be sorry.

And I'd like to throw in my "seal of approval" - well, let's just
call it an agreement with what you've said. I was there at Valley Bikes
yesterday as well, and it was fun watching the current Greenspeed owners
show up with their trikes, their reactions to the GT3, and so on.
Mike, his wife and kids, the whole bunch at the store - they really
do a good job.

I concur with everything that both of you have said. A great day was
had by all. Mike, Dianne, the boys and Pete are such nice people and
they run a super shop.

Besides meeting and getting autographs from Ian and Rachel Sims of
Greenspeed, I got to meet that bon vivant and raconteur Larry Varney
in person.

Thats business, no matter how hard it is there will always be someone
who is dissappointed .

And out of every 10 people, 2 will not like you.

Have a great life because yesterday is gone, today is short, and
tomorrow may never come.

My experience with Valley Bikes was with the former owner, Dave Doty.
He sold me my GS GTO. Although by last June he wasn't the owner
anymore he prepped that trike to perfection...for a good price, too.
I'd bet the new owners are a chip off the old block, too...

For such a small shop they have a fairly large bent selection, I stopped by
last year and test rode an Optima Baron
