I have been using Metro for the last ~4 years and i consider them my local bike shop. Thats not to say i buy everything there, there are times when CRC is just a no brainer. Nowhere is perfect but these guys are better than most. On the few items i have shopped around for they have been cheaper than the Jhb bike shops i compared them with - components wise not so much but certainly on the bike services side. Their plusses (and the reason i keep going back) Service quality (in terms of done right the first time) has been significantly better than I experienced elsewhere - i have had 1 minor gripe after I guess 12 services on 2 bikes. The guys you talk to are the guys working on the bikes. They have on 4 occasions fixed items for free, then and there in order to get the bike where i needed it before heading away for a weekend. Once taking around 20 mins of work on the bike to get it right. The minusses booking a full service at least 2 weeks ahead they dont always have stock of what you want
