|   Looking for LBS in NOVA | Mazinger
Apr 25, 2003 5:09 AM | | Can anyone recommend an LBS in the NOVA (Fairfax county)area?
Looking for a place with a good shop and I don't mind paying a little extra for parts if the service is good.
Thanks! |

Spokes generally stocks higher end parts where as Washington Bike center generally doesn't because its more of a family shop. Both places have great head wrenches at them and MOST(not all) of the employees know what their talking about....

Apr 25, 2003 7:10 AM | | I've had good experiences at Spokes too, and sometimes if you're lucky, the guys at Performance down in FX Circle (by Blockbuster and IHOP) can help you out. I still haven't seen the "new" Washington Bike Center--I remember when they used to have that big one by Pollo Braza up close to H.I. Ribster's in Annandale; maybe when I go pick up my car for the summer I'll check out the Fair Lakes one. I kinda miss Bikes USA at Fair City, I'd just walk over after school and stare at all the parts a 14-year old can't afford...but that was 7 years ago haha. Sorry for the nostalgia rant:P |

Apr 25, 2003 7:36 AM | | The Bikes USA in Fair City was good. I had a couple of great experiences there.
I was looking for a road bike and the sales guy was very helpful and knew what he was talking about.
Another time I went there to get a pair of rims trued. I was expecting to leave them there, but the shop guy said he'd do it for me right away.
I did go to Spokes, in Vienna, this past weekend seems like a nice shop. |
