Tucson az - Craigslist facilitation?

Interested in a bike on Tucson Craigslist.

Any paceliners interested in helping me out and throwing the bike in a box and shipping?

Have them take the bike to Fairwheel Bikes in Tucson - I am sure that they would facilitate.

It's an absolutely fantastic bike shop.

Yep.... Fairwheel.

There is no other place in Tucson that would be a better/safer/more trustworthy shop to use.

Not a nice bike. I emailed the seller and they didn’t message back.

If anyone wants to help me out…

While I don't disagree that Fairwheel is a wonderful shop, I have to admit: Pretty much every bike shop I've been to in Tucson is pretty darn wonderful.

(Okay, maybe not Tucson Endurance Foothills or Bicycle Ranch.)

But, having done a lot of shopping at all these places and made use of the mechanics at most of them, I can't say I've seen a big difference in the level of service between
- Fairwheel Bikes
- Sabino Cycles
- Broadway Bicycles
- Oro Valley Bicycle (the Sunrise Drive location)

Curious what Fairwheel offers -- besides that incredible internet forum 10+ years ago, which afaik no longer exists -- that causes folks to rave about it?

Service, service, and service. The mechanics have decades of experience and it shows in the quality of service you receive. If you're into the latest weight-weenie parts or a great wheel build, then the mail order side of the shop is among the best.
