Shoutout to Mellow Velo (Fourways, GP)

[RobynE]

Just a shout out to the guys at Mellow. 
 

When I first got “back” into cycling at the age of 41, having last rode a bike as a teenager, the whole idea of bike shops was completely overwhelming. As someone who didn’t really know the difference between a Makro bike and a bike-bike (and how many bikes there are in between) a bike shop was a truly scary place. Some still are 😂 
 

Needless to say, two years later, I am very thankful for Mellow Velo, which is my LBS. I started out being helped by Ryan (who moved back to the Eastern Cape since) and now I’m assisted by Evo, Frans, Pro, Alex as well as Wes and Ben. I’m afraid I don’t know everyone’s names - I’m unfortunately not good with name retention and it’s taken me two years to learn the names I’ve listed lol. 
 

I am an exceptionally average cyclist, and don’t have a big budget, but I’m keen to learn and I am loyal - sometimes to a fault - when I believe. Mellow has helped my friends and family with things at short notice, and there’s never been a time that any of us have collected a bike and had to raise an eyebrow. Usually there’s just a little bit of extra care added, and I’m so appreciative for that. I’ve never gotten an invoice that has made me gasp, either. It’s always been in the ballpark of what I was expecting, never more, and always fair. 
 

Thank you very much, Mellow. I really feel very lucky to have you as my LBS. 
 

This gushy post is brought to you by a happy mom whose kid is thrilled with her “new to her” wheelset bought from a Hubber and fitted by Mellow this morning about 20 minutes after the courier arrived 😂 

 

(in case anyone isn’t familiar with Mellow, they’re in Broadacres on the Nando’s/KFC side, between Nando’s and Seattle. Wes is the manager and Evo is main dude in the service team).
