Question about SGV Bicycles

 Thread started by

Has anyone purchased a bike from www.sgvbicycles.com?
I need a new bike (mine was stolen) and want to buy one for less than $300 from someone that Midnight Ridazz recommends.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Don't do it.  You can do better. 
I have had good results on Craigslist.  You have to weed through the bullshit, but I have purchased 2 bikes with minimal hassles.
SGV dude seems shady and those POS no name fixies he sells are worth $100 max.

That's what I figured.  I've been without a bike for 2 weeks and am losing my mind.
I need something cheap with a front brake...that's all I'm asking.

First of all, I was not too impressed. It's an out of the house operation, and he does not seem to know too much about bikes. He doesn't tune or work on the bikes either. He just slaps on cheap handlebar tape, tires and tubes, and tries to turn it around. If he put more effort into it, maybe. At the current time though he charges way too much for what he's offering. Why would I pay him for the things I don't want. He'd be better off just selling them as is for cheaper.
