Buy

We have two categories of bicycles for sale, which are accordingly priced:

• Overhauled bikes, which get completely taken apart and rebuilt
• As-Is bikes, which are safety-checked and made ready to ride

From time to time, we also donate some of the bikes we’ve repaired to charitable institutions such as shelters and overseas volunteer organizations.
We have a decent selection of used parts, mainly shifting and braking components, and usually lots of knobby mountain bike tires. While our spare parts are often used to refurbish our bicycles, we usually do have a surplus for sale.

Overhauled Bikes

Overhauled bikes are completely taken apart, cleaned and greased, and then reassembled. Every part and assembly is itemized and checked on a worksheet.

The checklist includes:

• Wheels – hubs, tires, tubes, truing
• Brakes – levers, pads, cables
• Shifters – levers, cables
• Derailleurs
• Chain
• Bottom bracket and chainrings
• Seat and seatpost
• Fork, headset, stem, and handlebar
• Whole frame – inspected for cracks, damage and wear

While we mainly use second-hand parts, we strive to ensure these parts are in good shape. Once overhauled, bikes are road-tested by a Head Mechanic and placed in the For Sale rack. We attach the worksheet that lists the work done on each bike, and each one has a limited warranty. Prices for overhauled bikes start around $140.

As-is Bikes

Our As Is bikes are assessed by one of our Head Mechanics, with a check sheet that shows the condition of various major components. These bikes are made safe and ready to ride, and are of course the cheapest, starting at $100. These bikes are great for those who are on a tight budget or want a bike that works just fine, even though it’s not “perfect”.
