Member 25  San Francisco, CA |  Subject: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area??Hi, All. I'm a newbie. What are people's favorite bike shops in the Bay Area? I'm looking for shops that cater to women-specific designs. I'm a hard to fit at 5'2". I'm looking for a road bike. I currently have a mountain bike that fits great but I bought it 4 years ago and things may have changed a lot since then. Any Advice will be much apreciated! :-) |

Extreme Veteran 511 Budapest, Pest Megye | Subject: RE: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area?? I recommend forward motion in Danville or Walnut Creek too. They specialize in triathlon and have Quintana Roo, Louis Garneau, Kestrel and Elite bikes. I think if you become a member you get a 15% discount on QR bikes and 15% off all the accessories. It's like $60 to become a member. |

Regular 97 Bay Area, Cali | Subject: RE: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area?? Bicycle Outfitters is pretty good... palo alto bikes on university is apparently the same owner, but I find their selection to be lacking. I bought my bike at Chain Reaction in Los Altos. There is also one in redwood city I believe. They are an official TREK dealer, so if you're in for one of those, this is the store of choice. Cheers |

Master 1873 Colorado | Subject: RE: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area?? There's a guy at Pacific Bicycles in the City that is GREAT for fitting. He'll size you up (he works with several amatuer and a few pro teams and is a great mechanic and fit guy - he's also an Ironman mechanic) More important than the bikes they carry is thier ability to fit you right. They carry a pretty wide variety though. Eric Pritchard is his name and I don't know what he charges for a full fit, but if you buy a bike there, you at least get a basic fit. You might need to call for an appointment. Here's the website with map. |

Expert 755 SF-Bay Area | Subject: RE: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area?? Another vote for Gebhard @ Cyclepath (two locations, Hayward [main showroom] and San Mateo [satellite store & fitting/repair station]). Check them out at cyclepath.com. Edited by guncollector 2006-09-25 3:53 AM |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Favorite Bike shops in SF Bay Area?? I think Forward Motion is good, also you might try Livermore Cyclery in Livermore. They have quite a few women's specific bikes and I know they sell Orbea. And they are nice. It might be kind of far from you though - you could give them a call first. |

Cycle Path in San Mateo sells Orbeas, too. I think that a significant percentage of the road biker short people, like myself, within a 100 mile radius of San Mateo has been fitted on an Orbea by Gebhardt.

Niice! I'm returning to Gebhardt for my B bike, which is likely to be another Orbea. |
