Wright Bros Cycle Works

I took my bike here and they told me they would have an estimate for me within the next few days. Now, about three weeks later, I'm still waiting for an estimate! I called to see what the hang up was and they told me they had something important to deal with and they would call me back shortly. Now, several days after that phone call, I still haven't heard anything from them! I'm going to pick up my bike when they open on Tuesday and take it somewhere else. I suggest you do the same -- take your bike somewhere else. Don't waste your time here. Pros: When you come to this place, you realize that you can do much better elsewhere. Cons: Terrible service, bad parking. more

Wright Brothers is a parts / repair shop; they don't sell bikes. I've taken them some very unusual repairs, and they've always been done with ease. What kept me coming back is their co-op workspace ($30 lifetime membership, no hourly) where you often get alot of free help from other bikers. If you want to learn some repair techniques in a more structured way, there are classes offered from time to time that the owner, Charles, teaches himself. The classes are listed on their website. Their parts selection is choice, and they stock some useful fixie (fixed gear) parts. They are a Seattle biking landmark; check them out. Pros: Best repair and wheel-building in the city, co-op workspace to do repairs on the cheap yourself with lots of help from other members. Cons: Sometimes it can take a couple days for your repair job to be done, sometimes the co-op workspace is full. more
