Best store for Tri gear, bike and acc. in OTTAWA?????

Bushtukah and Cyclelogik so far.

Orleans Cycle is under new ownership and I beleive headed in the tri direction.

Thanks went to cyclelogik today better then what I am use to and got some new hand paddles, and tubes that were half as much as at My Own LBS, over all a nice place I thinks. Still open to other suggestions ,,,Thanks

I just wanted to give a big 'ol recognition to Bicyclettes de Hull in Gatineau (and to Simon-Pierre in particular). I recently ordered a Scott cyclocross bike form there (good deal on 2009 model) and the when it arrived I realized there was a crack on the headtube. I was worried becasue dealing over the internet, you never know what type of service you'll get.

I called Simon-Pierre at Bicyclette de Hull and he apologized (even though it wasn't his fault - the bike came in sealed Scott box). He gave me the store UPS number to return the bike and will ship me a replacement. That is good customer service. Next time I need new gear I'll start by checking out their website and will definitly visit the store in person when I'm in Ottawa.

I would like to know too.

I dropped by the Hull Pecco's last week (since they are a Somersault Sponsor) and the store was empty

Bushtukah had some Tri-vests being cleared out at $19 last month when I went...

Pecco's Hull moved a while back, did you go to their new location on portage???
I dont think the phone book has their new addy if that's where you were looking.
So far the best cycling experience I have had was with Bushtaka, as they have been willing to do small things on the spot at little or no charge (like setting a crown race). I cant give too much adivce as to who has good mechanics as I do most of my own work on my bikes. I havent had anything major done anywhere, but personally I will not return to either of the Pecco's stores, the guys on Murray street are nice, but some of the mechanics there dont have a clue, and the ones in Hull were just rude. I got a freehub body installed at the Murray st. store and they did a really poor job putting the axle back in. Betrand (also in Hull) has been good to me. Cyclogic seems decent too, and good coffee!
