One cannot help but be impressed by the wholesale professionalism of this place. They know bikes here. Unfortunately, this seems to translate into being expensive. I definitely wouldn't buy a new bike at Valencia unless you hit one of their periodic sales. Admittedly, I've gone here before and had them look at my bike, tell me what needed to be done, and then took my junker somewhere else and get little bits and pieces of the work done cheaper since they're not so into doing a half-ass job here and sometimes that's all I can afford.
