Hey Guys,
Looking for feedback on Europa Cycles for service, its close to work and was thinking of dropping the Colnago for a BB service and general once over coz i just dont have time to service...
Thanks
I wouldn't take anything there. BITD (back in the day) I used to take my MTB there to get it serviced, that was where I bought it from.
They were ok then.
I took my same MTB there to get it "rebuilt" as most of my running gear had perished, I said to the man who is still the same owner, with his son there, that I bought this MTB way back when you were in Kingsford, well when I was talking to him he wasn't even bothering to look at me. So I thought he wasn't interested in my business so he didn't get my MTB to work on.
Another story, my mate had a Scott Hybrid that he took in there to get a flat tyre fixed, well, they saw him coming. They tried ripping him off for a new chain, derailleur, everything. He said he just wanted the tyre and they charged him a bomb for that. Can't remember how much. He'd only just got the bike serviced at Marrickville too.
So, I'd say NO. Don't take your bike there.
Ok good I'm glad I asked... So where to go near randwick?
I've heard pretty good things about Europa over at fixed.org.au
I go past it 8 times a week but have rarely dropped in. They hooked me up with some pedal cage bolts a few years ago when mine fell out on the way to Uni.
Velosophy is at fox studios. Back towards Newtown there's a few more, notably cheeky transport and Bike Depot Enmore.
