However, if you can wait a week or two I can tell you if "The Bike Builder's" in Whittier is any good. I am trusting them to my new bike. It's a one man shop and I like what I saw. Hardly a new bike for sale in the shop and several hard core riders are always in just chatting with the owner. Looks like the main business is building bikes to order for people that know what they want. I'll keep you posted. |

Feb 16, 2002 11:01 PM | | The approximate cost for a bike build might be around $150 plus a small fee for shop supplies. I can recommend an excellent shop near Agoura Hills but I wouldn't just send anybody there. Sometimes people buy stuff off the internet and expect alot more beyond what they're paying for (advice, deals, etc.) from a shop when assembly time comes. This shop builds the best bikes I've seen and they do it with a ton of TLC. If you are an honest guy and intend to be pleasant to deal with then I'd give you the shop. But since I don't know you at least you know where to begin to look. |
