Dream Cyclery

So after a horrible biking accident with my front wheel popping off and saying adiós as it rolled into the street, I was pretty petrified since my head came one foot away from moving traffic.
But I persevered and popped that wheel back on and uhh rolled the bike back home (who the hell would get back on that death trap). Luckily I was only a few blocks away. At my front door I was so scared and frustrated and didn’t know what to do. At that time I didn’t know this place existed and so in comes the phone to save the day! I thought why not? This place has good and reviews and it. Is. Close.
Keyword: close. Ain’t nobody got a car to transport it downtown.
Met the owner, super nice, got the bike fixed, even nicer, price was on point, sweet baby Jesus it was nice. Turns out at some point the quick release on the front wheel just started to die.
Thank god it died before I died.
We changed it to a bolt and he only charged me for parts! The bike has been well and alive ever since, and it also hasn’t tried to kill me either!
One of these days when I have the moolah, I’m going to team up with him to have my dream bike built.

Did a good tune up on my bianchi and on my beater bike. Reasonable prices and quick turn around.

Had a tuneup on my bike done here over the weekend. They are upfront with the prices and what’s included. Very knowledgable. Also had him replace my quick releases on seat and wheel and swap out a brake noodle thing. Both done for just the cost of the parts, which is good because I found the tuneup price high, but can’t knock him for it as I knew it going in.
Only been out for one ride so far but seems to be riding much better now. Nuff said.

In a modern world of impersonal service, the owner/​operator of this establishment is taking us back to the days of customer care.
Obviously doing this for the love of it & not to make a quick buck. Be you a cycle aficionado or just starting out, you will have an amazing experience here!

Welcoming, talented and well priced. I will definitely return for servicing as well as new parts. Someday they’ll build me my dream bicycle.

It’s important to note that this isn’t a shop to find various brands of bikes to go home with. As of now, he’s clearly focused on tune-​ups, bike/​wheel building, and upgrades.
That said, I had a phenomenal customer experience.
I went in just expecting to find bikes and parts but in fact I found a stellar shop that specializes in custom bike and wheel building. Linus, the owner and bike repairer/​builder was non-​pretentious, extremely patient, and very helpful. We had spent a lot of time discussing ways in which I could upgrade my bike whereby he provided a variety of options in prices. I even test drove a few wheel sets to figure out which one worked out the best for me.
On top of that, before getting a set of wheels from him, he took a look at my bike and adjusted it for a better ride. He also explained exactly what things he was tweaking on my bike, whereas I think a lot of other shops will just separate the repair section from the customer facing part of the store.
As a nice bonus, he also carries a lot of good maintenance necessities like tires, degreasers, chain lube… it might not seem impressive but It’s surprising how hard it was for me to find some specific things that were missing in other notable bike shops around Toronto. Furthermore, he also does home pickups/​deliveries of bikes that need to be fixed (I have a car so I just opted to move my bike myself).
For me, his business deserves five stars. He specializes in certain things that and does them really well. His personal service was absolutely top notch.
