The Bicycle Chain (Bike Shop)

Profile

Thinking of buying a new bicycle? One of your first choices, and not necessarily an easy one, will be where to shop. It can be a challenge because there is a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations.We make bike buying easy and fun.Where you buy, however, has everything to do with what you get. You see, bicycles aren't like toasters or suitcases. Bikes are shipped in boxes and they must be assembled and tuned.

There are many types, too, and you should never buy until you've figured out which is right for you. Measurements and adjustments are required to ensure the frame is the correct size and that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned. And, every new bicycle will need a minor tune-up after several weeks of use. What's more, modern road and mountain bikes can travel at high speeds and carry you over demanding terrain where the machine's materials and construction get tested. A quality two-wheeler, carefully assembled and fit to you, will be the safest, most durable and fun bicycle to ride. Read more

I went out yesterday with the intent of buying a new full suspension mountain bike. The chain had two different bikes I was interested in, on in Durham and the other in Raleigh. I test rode both and found all the employees knowledgeable about the bikes. Ultimately I ended up getting the bike from the Raleigh store. Every employee showed so much enthusiasm for my purchase. ...

Derrick could not have been more helpful with getting me a part for my bike rack - multiple phone calls to the manufacturer, ran down the part numbers - just great. Drew took my bike as a walk-in and gave it a quick work up on the spot. Excellent service.
