Patchelicious Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 What LBS can you guys recommend in the Eagle Canyon area? Maybe in like a 15km radius. I used to use Eagle Canyon cycles when Tony and Jacques were still there. I prefer to build up a relationship with people, never gaggle on price, but am now gatvol of the current one I have given a few oppertunities too. This is not a moan about the current one thread, I just want to know which shops you guys can recommend.
Pieterlab1 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I use Cajees at Retail Crossing.Yes, I know it's not "cool" to go to Cajees, but I have received only excellent service from them and they always give me a good deal.I always ask for Bugz, and if I find anything cheaper somewhere else, he will match the price and give me a discount on that as well.Use it, don't use it...
StevieL Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I always use Linden Cycles. Never had a problem.Try and avoid Saturday mornings, the place heaves. If Linden can't help me, Mikes Bikes in Greenside is a close second. Mike always goes out of his way to help me.
igg Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Mellow Vello? Broadacres is about 10km away from Eagle Canyon.Great bunch of guys there.

Last time I had a good experience with Cajees was back when they were in Westgate in the 90's.

They never, ever rip you off or 'over-sell' as they have enough business...
ALLMTB Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I've had great service from Bruce Reyneke Cycles at Featherbrooke Village Shopping Centre. Pretty close to Eagle Canyon.
broncoza Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Good luck with Melo Velo that shop seems to attract a certain behavior pattern. Had my bike "serviced" there and picked it up during load shedding only to get home and see not even chain was cleaned. Won't even take my wheelbarrow back there!

Butterbean Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 just bite the bullet and drive to midrand. See Anton at summit cycles. Dude is the coolest bike shop owner around and always has time for clients. It's well worth the drive.
johanpre44 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Cyclists workshop at Nicholas Plants close to the Dome, Joshua and his staff is great help. He is also involved with the Ghost Factory Shop in Lazerpark (close to Honeydew Police station). I've had brilliant service from both these shops. I also like going to Linden Cycles because they usually have stock of pretty much everything meaning that I can go there and probably walk out with the parts I need (without even picking up the phone). I have learned not to always go for the best/cheapest price but rather where I know the price and service is both good.

Patchelicious Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 just bite the bullet and drive to midrand. See Anton at summit cycles. Dude is the coolest bike shop owner around and always has time for clients. It's well worth the drive.Last time the ol Earp and I spoke, he was going to moer me... sorted it later but you never know if somebody wont "forget" to tighten a bolt No, I have heard from various people that he and Mike from Mikes Bike care for your bikes as if its their own. Which is what I want. Just a bit far. I completely forgot about Velo, been there a few times, and they were always friendly.
