haha thanks HarleyScuba, I'm actually in sterling, so pretty close to you. Is Oldtowne where you normally go? I just got the bike and am looking for a good shop to use. Right by me is RnR Cycles, but they had a couple not so good reviews on google. There's also Brooks Cycles in Chantilly, heard anything about them?


Elfnyc, I'm definitely interested, where in NY are you? I'll be up in Northern Jersey(wayne, Hoboken area) this weekend, could maybe meet up as well.
So are they are full soft line?

The intersection of Route 17 and Route 1, where Olde Towne Cycle is located, might be a hour and 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours from you (about 50 minutes for me and it's a sweet route), but I wouldn't go any where else unless I was on a road trip and I had no choice. They're moving the shop to bigger digs next week (not far from the existing shop), but they won't loose their dedication to customer satisfaction. I know I sound like a commercial, but I have full faith and confidence in their work and integrity. Hell, I'd give them the keys to my house. Check out their website and/or send me a PM if you want to know more.
I don't know who runs the other shops you mentioned and I haven't heard any scuttle-butt either way about their services. Take a ride by and see what they're about. Maybe ask them about installing tires, or a brake line, and check the vibe.

Thanks HS, I have a little time Friday morning, might check out brooks and see how it does. If I don't like it, I'll try to go to Oldtowne next week sometime.


Elfnyc, just let me know the length whenever you get around to it. I'll be up in Montclair around 5-6 Friday, maybe we could meet up somewhere then, or you can mail it and I can always send you the shipping paypal. Thanks!


Also how well do those brake bleeding kits work? There's one at Harbor Freight for like $18
