2014 Closeouts!

Dick and Gene are very laid back and always willing to chat about bikes and share their opinions.  I’ve never felt like they are selling me anything.  I describe my issues/problems and they come up with solutions.

I went in today for a new bike fit (was ordering a custom frame from an independent frame builder and needed a top quality fit before I shelled out big bucks on a custom frame), and Dick worked with me for several hours measuring and making sure my position on the bike was ideal.  Dick did a pretty good job explaining/teaching about how your body interacts with the bike, and the different ways you can adjust the fit.

I have been fit before at another shop, so I can compare the two.  The other fitter was more of a ‘black box’ approach, in which he made measurements, I pedaled for a while on video, he made some adjustments, and then sent me on my way with my new ‘fit measurements’.  At Drummond’s, I stayed on the bike for a long time, I relayed a lot of information to Dick, and he was able to incorporate it into his process, and explain what I was feeling and why.  All said, I was very happy with the fit.

Drummond’s goes way out of their way to make sure their customers are taken care of.  I had a wheel relaced earlier this year, and I needed it for an evening ride.  They turned it around super fast and made sure it got back to me for my ride.

When you hang out there for a while, you get the feeling that they just enjoy biking and want their customers to have fun, be comfortable and succeed on their bikes.

I suggest to my cycling enthusiast friends (ie. experienced cyclists coming to the area for school) to go to Drummond’s.
