Chris and his crew over there really helped me out with some broken spokes. Good service, fast and affordable. I recommend.

Quick service, very reasonable prices and friendly boss! I had a stripped bolt on a pedal and instead of changing it and charge me the fee for a new pedal, he redid the thread and it cost me less than half the price. I still use the bike and the repair is holding on. Very satisfied client visiting from Montreal. He even spoke a few words of french!

Excellent service and expertise. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to invest long term in a quality bicycle. They also provide service and maintenance for all bikes as well. Knowledgeable staff and a space out back to test

The most awesomest place to be for a bicycle enthusiast. Well stocked with the most updated equipment, gear and accessories for biking. Service is excellent and prompt with knowledge based, skilled management.

Talk about mediocrity and intergenerational laziness! Came in to spend $$$ on a few nessisisary items and left as I came, empty handed, and a seat replaced that made my ride to a much better bike shop extremely difficult and uncomfortable. There appeared to be no urgency to serve my needs or even concern and know how. I left with heartburn feeling in my gut and will not be returning.

Great addition to the N.Kenwood-Oakland neighborhood!! $75 spring tune up has me ready for the biking season (I think they might have actually washed my bike too!) Thanks Chris! -Eric

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the folks at Small Shop, they made my bike a joy to ride. I bought a new to me bike two years ago and had it refurbished by another shop (my mistake), and it was frustrating and things were done incorrectly. Since the original refurbishment, I had it repaired at another shop that was slow and did shoddy work. I took it into Chris’s shop two weeks ago to get it tuned up fully expecting to sell the bike because it was not enjoyable to ride, but their extensive (and reasonably priced) fixes have made it so much fun to ride. I didn’t think this bike could work this well or be so much fun. Want to know the best part? They are extremely considerate: they gave me an estimate of how much it would cost to fix, and when they found something else wrong, they called me to make sure that it was okay to go ahead because it would raise the cost slightly (less than $20). Seriously, they are the best.

I was hoping for a great quality bicycle repair shop in my are and that’s just what I found. The service and quality of work was/is superb. The staff was friendly and the store was clean and well stocked. I recommend you give them a try.
