Austin TX Mechanic

I hope that everyone is staying safe and doing well.

I am looking for some help in Austin. I just received my bike back from a repair and am wondering if someone in the Austin area would be willing to put it back together for me.

This is my only bike and in Austin the is some of the best riding weather of the year. Unfortunately I lack the tools/skills to build it myself.

Thanks

I've done most of my own work the last few years, so am a bit out of touch with current wrench skills in town. The Peddler or Nelo's were my go-to shops when needed in the past. Nelo's is now closed so that option is out. The Peddler was always fantastic, down-to-earth, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I'm not sure if Ethan is still there, but he did several builds for me in the past that were fantastic. Incredible attention to detail. You may want to give them a call (ask for AJ the owner) and see if Ethan is still there. If he isn't, give AJ the details of your project and ask who on his team he would suggest.

Good luck with your project!

I'll second The Peddler, they do great work and are very down-to-earth.
