RE: [BentPacNW] Bent shops

Larry:
 
I own a customized Catrike Speed which I had a shop in Florida build for me and then ship to Seattle.  My first Catrike was purchased from David Brumsickle at Silverdale Cyclery -- friendly and accommodating, but a trek by car or car/ferry.  I use Silverdale for those rare problems I cannot fix myself.
 
Aurora Cycles (one of the Gregg chain) on Aurora Avenue west of Greenlake Park sells a limited inventory of recumbents including some low end trikes.  I've never had any service done there on my trike, but my experience with single and tandem df servicing has been outstanding.  It might be worth your while to chat with them.

Subject: [BentPacNW] Bent shops

My wife and I just moved back to the Seattle area (Renton) after an absence of 25 years.  One of the first tasks is to find a good bent shop.  (I may need to add a 3x9 to my tadpole to save my knees on the hills.  My wife already has one on her GTC.)  Angle Cycles in Kent was too busy and neither very friendly nor helpful.  Any suggestions?  A decent bike shop that does not discriminate against 3-wheel bents would be fine.

More questions to come...
Thanks.

Ummmm, i think Angle Lake (in Seatac) is the among the best recumbent shops around. Maybe Dale was having a bad day. There's no question he's busy, but that...

Well, maybe I need to give them another chance. They may be good craftsmen, but it was hard to pry much out of them. And the shop was so crowded with cycles,...

... I think you definitely should give Angle Lake another try. Talk to Dale and make clear what you want. ... I think he has an HP Velo Scorpion now, too. ......

Larry: Many of us think highly of Dale Clark, owner of Angle Lake Cyclery. He's been my recumbent guru for about eight years. And for you, he's big into...

Larry, I've bought two recumnents from Dale Clark and have found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He is severly handicapped by trying to run the shop...
