Bike Shops... who do you go to?
rottenpossum:
So in part of my moving & researching, I'm wanting a general consensus of what bike shops you guys like, what shops you hate and why. One point of interest that is important is that I currently own & ride a Giant Talon 29er1 & a Trek 1100, so whatever shop I go to would need to be able to service those bikes relatively easy. I'm hoping to find a shop like the one I have back home. Guys who know bikes, work on bikes, and love bikes but still very approachable and friendly.
Last qualification is that I would like to find a shop that is somewhat close to Westchase, but that's not a requirement if the people & service are right.
Thanks!

Carrolwood Bike Emporium is good, ask for Brain (owner) or Manny.. stay away from Flying Fish, just my opinion and others I have talked to. University Bike Center on Fletcher is OK but a little pricey on service, if you go there ask for Jason Daniels. Native Bike Works on 301 in Riverview is also very good, AJ's bikes and Boards in Valrico is OK...

I've had great experiences with Streetfit360, Trek Tampa, and both Flying Fish locations. All Three have been super nice and have worked with me on price for bikes and service.
Outspokin in Clearwater gets my award for the rudest most snobby elitist bike shop around.

UBC and AJ's have been good to me. AJ's being open on Sunday is a plus and they have mechanics there on Sunday!
