Danger Dassie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Epic only helps if you're part of the clan. Williams you have to wait forever to get help The clan? What clan? Like Survivor, that thing? Have to say, this hasn't been my experience at all. I've been helping somone get into the sport, unfortunately she's down in CT. So the best I can do is let her come back to me with sales talk and I can advise from there. One character tried to sell her (a complete newbie) a 70k bike. She went to the 'ride before you buy' at Tokai, Epic were and are being absolutely helpful with her. I've spoken to them a bit as well.So haven't really experienced this clan thing. Maybe I should ask, there could be a t-shirt involved Williams, I couldn't comment. Only going on what I've heard from a number of folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYGA Posted February 5, 2010 Share "Williams you have to wait forever to get help" Awesome guy, awesome shop, great place if you want to perve and talk bikes but certainly not when you're in a hurry to get something done! In Stellenbosh, Mason's Bike Inn gets my vote. I've never been to another shop where guys bend over backwards to help you out like he does and where they are willing to make your emergency THEIR emergency. If it's good enough for the Caveman and Dan Hugo it's good enough for me! XTC12010-02-05 04:08:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Well an LBS is a personal preference, I like Williams (and yes, you do kinda need to take a number and wait at times) as he is always prepared to spend some time explaining things. But then again Cycle Addiction are only my distant second choice but my neighbour, soon to be ex-roadie, on the other hand prefers them to Williams.

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 5, 2010 Share snoek, I will not recommend CMC, because they will not do a emergancy fix unless you book in advance. It happened to me, so I dont rate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
