Dallas bike shop recs?

[roguedog]

Hey PL, what are some good bike shops in the Dallas area for repair and builds?

Preferably closer to the Plano -- McKinney area but willing to drive to a good, trustworthy quality mechanic who isn't totally unfamiliar with Campy.

Thanks!

Richardson Bike Mart now with 4 locations. Dallas, Richardson, Frisco and Mckinney. Slightly biased because I work there. Go to bikemart.com for locations and directions.

My parents bought my first bike at RBM in 1977.

Wow. Cool! Thanks all. I was a bit leery of Richardson since it looked more like a chain. But coolio, will go there!

Thank you, thank you.

When I lived there a number of years ago, I purchased replacement Campy parts there. Little things like shifter rebuilds, G springs, etc were in stock. At that time they had used groups and wheels for sale from customers that upgraded too the newest.

Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but for service I highly recommend Lantini's in Plano for service. Just two really good mechanics and that's about it. Not really a bike shop but the do have accessories. They've built my Colnago c64 and Parlee.

Nothing wrong with RBM, but Mad Duck would be my top full service shops in the Dallas area, but not super close to Plano. Mad Duck is a pretty high volume Moots and Yeti dealer and they are really nice people too.

Latinis is hands down best service in Dallas. Guys used to run RBM service and went on their own. All they do is service.
