	+ ------ + ''2009-04-05 12:48:16'' [[nbsp]] I bought a bike from Roger when he had his shop on Culver Road way back in 92' when I brought it in for a rebuild he remembered the bike and did a great job on the rebuild. Mine happens to be an Iron Horse which is no longer sold. A quality bike that he said was worth the effort to rebuild. I am very happy with it and hope to get many more years out of it! Roger is a top notch, honest mechanic with a lot of experience. I really like what he does with the installation of the cables. They will never freeze on you no matter how much it gets rained on!

Also, he’s not a bike store snob who won’t talk to you unless you are interested in top-of-the line stuff. + + As to him turning away Wal-Mart/Target bikes, again, this is because he’s being up front. Frankly, Wal-Mart/Target bikes are low quality and hard to work on. Rather than doing a repair and handling the customer a repair bill that is a large portion of the bike’s cost, Roger will turn the work away. + + If you want a quality bike or repair for a reasonable cost, this is the place to go. + --["Users/Clipper"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-05-06 13:22:32'' [[nbsp]] Purchased a bike here recently. Roger took about 2 hours out of his day to walk me through the differences between the different Fuji's he has (he has another brand that he carries) and even let me and my friends test-ride a few bikes. The bike took a few days to be prepared, but I had some customizations done to it. When I picked it up, Roger then took a couple of hours out of his day to give me a few pointers on maintenance and other ins-and-outs. He offers free tuneups for life. He says that there is no too often for coming in, but there is a not often enough. A+ Service Effort. --["EugeneCain"]

While it is true the owner turns away Walmart and Target type bikes - we were told it is because they are very difficult to work on as they are constructed as "disposable bikes".
