Conrad's Bike Shop — Local services in New York

Took my girlfriend's relatively new bike in to just have it looked at because one of the wheel reflectors dislodged, and threw her off of it.

I just asked for them to take the reflector off (7 seconds) because if I did it I'd prob bend a spoke, and then take a look to see if everything is aligned.

The clerk was friendly, but didn't mention anything about a price.

Upon her picking it up, she was charged $50 for a full tune up. Not asked for, and definitely not needed.

Seemed excessive for however much time they must've spent with it. More like a $20 job for removing a reflector and tightening some stuff in under 10 minutes max.

So do you due diligence, find out what the $ is going to be if it makes any...

One of the pedals on my Citizen Miami bike broke while I was riding a few blocks from this place. I went in, asked for pedals, they showed me a bunch, I bought the cheapest ones. They installed them quickly. They were nice. I really like the location of this shop. If you have not checked it out, you should. It is a nice area with a park across the street and cool views of the UN. I have returned to the store twice since I broke my pedal. Once to buy a bell and once to have my brakes tuned (yes I could've done it myself, but I didn't have time and I had let them go for too long without attention). Normal prices for the city. Pro work. Most interesting location. Very helpful....

Old fashioned one-on one-attention that is rare today. The proprietor - don’t know his name - is personable and knowledgeable and just a good guy. Prices are fair and the work I’ve had done there is consistently good. They’ve been around forever with very little staff turnover. That says something. I just swapped gruppos between two bikes that had been in storage for a couple of years. The price was fair and the quality of the work was good. Plus they cleaned everything and made both bikes look brand new - the cassette, chaingrings, hubs were all shiny and looking new. They did this...
