I have been shopping at Gregg's for years and the selection and service never cease to amaze me. I recently stopped by to purchase a new pair of cycling shoes. The woman who assisted me was extremely helpful and patient. I am very picky with my shoes and she humored my interest in trying on every shoe in the store. Gregg's had multiple performance oriented shoes in my size, but I went with the SIDI's. While there I found some awesome looking jerseys (purchased 2) and the parts guys helped me pick up some new lube. Gregg's is surely bigger than the store located in my neighborhood, but they have earned my business over the years with good service, great selection and friendly staffers.

This is the flagship store in downtown Seattle. I could spend hours and hours here. They have everything you need - for anything you might need to do outdoors. Like a previous reviewer, I always leave here ready to go hiking, biking, sky-diving - whatever! Someday I'm going to try the famous rock wall in the entrance, but for now I'm content to watch and be amazed. Definitely check out the twice yearly garage sales!

I've been around to quite a few shops in the Seattle area and none of them have the level of skill or service that Arron's has. That said, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP IF: you want the absolute lowest prices and don't care about service; you want to try parts and return them if you don't like them or they don't fit; you are easily offended or upset if someone disagrees with you. THIS SHOP IS FOR YOU IF: You want the job done right (they aren't perfect, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone equal, let alone better); are willing to pay more for the right part; aren't going to be offended if someone tells you something you don't want to hear. One of the things that separates Aaron's from other bike shops is the immediate (when possible) service. They'd rather fix your bike while you wait rather than keep it for a week. With the newer shop they do have more space to store bikes, however, and are probably going to be better about accepting drop-offs. Often, they will insist that you bring your bike in before selling you something. So even if you just want to buy a set of fenders, it's best to bring the bike in. I can't count how many times I've been spared buying something that wouldn't have worked because they had me bring in the bike. To me, that's worth paying extra. If you bring your bike in, they won't touch it unless you are prepared to do what is necessary to get it into a state that they deem safe. That means, that if your handlebars are ready to fall off, they won't just fix a flat tire. They prefer fixing something before replacing it, if it can be done safely. Many customers happily leave with a their old refurbished bike, rather than a new one. Aaron is opinionated. Occasionally (or often) you won't agree with him. If you're the kind of person who can agree to disagree, you'll be fine. He may, at times, seem grumpy. Chances are it's nothing personal and if it is, I doubt you'll need to guess. He takes pride in his work and only hires people that do the same. 'Nuff said.

I admit it; my bike sat in the rain all winter. The place I bought it wanted 2 weeks before I could get it in, then another two weeks for a tuneup.
I called Recycled Cycles; "bring it on in. Well, yes, today."
I showed up "let's see. You need a new cable. I can bang this out in ten minutes."
Any bike shop can give you some attitude because bike enthusiasts are a cliquish bunch. At R.C. I got the feeling they wanted to recruit, instead of exclude.
Thanks for the quick and professional work and the uncomplicated labor and parts rates !

If you don't like the prices now, you'll like them later. They'll love the clearance prices as they are sometimes more than half off. They know alot about the outdoors and will find you what you need to make a trip possible. Without them, I don't know where I would buy my gear. They have good locations an have great sales. Their 100% satisfaction guarantee is unbeatable.

Recycled cycles used to be the place to buy that random used bike part for your junker. Now they sell new bikes as well as bikes assembled using recycled parts. It's not as inexpensive as it used to be but it's still less expensive than new parts and the staff are knowledgable. They also do bike repair though haven't had my bike serviced there.

More
The name "Perfect Wheels" comes from the owner's philosophy that hand built wheels are superior to machined wheels, in terms of performance and durability and ride quality.
Larry, the owner and (I suppose only) mechanic and shop keeper, provides personal repair, fitting, and builds.
The shop is small, and there isn't much in the way of accessories or apparel. However, there are a variety of bicycles on the wall and in the window, which incorporate a wide range of options for different riders. The builds are targeted to commuters, touring, casual and performance-minded riders.
If you buy a bicycle (or just a wheel), everything is customized by you, and built by Larry, the owner.

I picked up my Specialized mountain bike from them and they're the best with pricing. I look everywhere else and they were cheaper by at least $100 dollars. They also do price match if it's cheaper else where, but that's very rare since they have the best prices. There service is great, I had my sprocket checked out, and they replaced it for free. You also get a free tuneup when you buy a bike. They are very professional and have been in the business for a long time. They will recommend the best places for begginers and advanced riders. They have a great line of bikes and optional equipment is very cheap!
Check them out, they have several locations across seattle.

Big bicycle stores what to move inventory off their sales floor even if means selling one that doesn't really fit the rider all that well. If you're going to spend a lot of time on your bike it *must* fit correctly. Il Vecchio is a small, custom shop. You'll spend more money but you'll end up with a bike that is made exactly to your unique specifications.
