Damn, had I known this place had such a huge collection of bikes prior too my purchase at Performance Bikes, I would have probably would have just made my purchase here. Their bikes look really dope, and it even left me questioning my bike. But this seems to be a bike store that sells top tier bikes, as I noticed that I probably could not boughten a bike for the same price that I bought my bike for ($630).
Overall, this place definitely is worth the 4.5 stars that it has received
I love this place. I had a used bike bought off craigslist tuned up and cleaned here, not the cheapest to have work done ($50 for the tuneup + $20 for cleaning) its defnitely on the low end of the price scale.
Super friendly and helpful staff, with no pressure whatsoever to buy. While I was looking at bike pumps I watched a lady came in with a mountain bike asking if the bike was too big for her as she just bought it from a friend. I watched as an associate spent about 15 minutes fitting her for her bike and making necessary adjustments. At the end, grateful for the help, she asked "How much do i owe?" And he said "Nothing." and she thanked him and went on his way. I know this didn't happen to me but WOW! I will definitely be coming here again.
Looking for high end road bikes? Then this is the place for you. Since I've gotten my bike my buddy ken can attest to you that I've gotten bike crazy and looking for lighter and better accessories to put on my bike. Pretty much when I'm all done I'm sure i would probably have spent as much as the cost of the more basic models of they carry. Definitely will be back, i saw some pedals and derailluers
i have mixed feelings about this place. first its not cheep and when i first started going there i couldn't get a strait options out of anyone. i found one great thing about budget is there master wheel builder tony if you need a wheel built have him do it its not about him putting together a wheel anyone can do that its his experience with what combination of rim, hub and spoke count.
I'm not a bicycle pro or anything near it; just a person with a bike that needed repairing. Budget Pro was friendly, respectful, and upfront about their costs. It was fairly cheap but they took 2 full days to get it ready, which I wasn't expecting. It seems like a great place. They had all sorts of bikes and accessories and are perfectly willing to help you.
Stopped in here yesterday just to browse and ended up staying for approx. 2 hours. Tony, the guy who helped me, was entirely helpful, very knowledgeable and super easygoing throughout. He demonstrated great matchmaking prowess by introducing me to two splendid bikes and suggested minor adjustments the shop could make to meet my specific measurements. Just around the corner is a huge parking lot where you are encouraged to test ride your potential purchase.
Ultimately, I didn't buy anything, but nobody seemed to mind -- and for that courtesy of finessed salesmanship, they will definitely get my business once I've done my product research and comparisons. I have the feeling they get pretty busy on the weekends, so you should try to swing by during the week if possible.
Side note: I happened to glance up to their split-2nd level and noticed a battalion of bikes all with side pouches labeled: POLICE. If that means this is where the LAPD gets their bikes serviced, I'm gonna guess Budget Pro Bikes ain't no joke.
I recommend!
Just bought a bike from this place and had an awesome experience. At no point did I feel like I was being pressured to buy the most expensive buy but rather what I could afford. David the sales rep was very nice and knowledgeable. The prices was also good for what I got. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Stopped in here last saturday to pick up some parts and check out some bikes that I was interested in. They didnt have the exact model that I was looking for, but they offered to contact the manufacturer to try and get a hold of the bike I wanted.
Good, friendly service (didnt detect any bike elitism), good selection and prices seemed pretty good as well.
I went here on the advice of a coworker after browsing many other bicycle stores. Not that the other stores were bad, but this one, because of it's salesman, David, stood out. After explaining our wants and budget, David, helped us choose two (the wife and I) Trek mountain bikes that fit our needs perfectly. Although we're bike novices, David, was very patient and helpful with his advice.
Today we took out bikes in for their first tune-up (life time tune-ups are free if bikes are purchased here). Although we were not there to make any new purchases we were treated with the same excellent treatment as the day we bought our bikes. This is definitely the place to go for any of your bike needs!
At Budget Bike Pro I've shifters replaced, a crank replaced, had the bike tuned up and cleaned, have bought tubes, liners and tires and had them installed, have bought lights and toe clips - and even had them install them.
Recently, I brought back the mount for a front light I'd purchased from them days previous that was jettisoned (and lost) at some point on a ride on the eastern end of the L.A. river "trail" where the asphalt breaks and the dips are jagged and severe. The detente on the clip was inadequate, demonstrably so, but only to someone willing to listen - and they certainly were! They were attentive and didn't have the slightest hesitation replacing it.
I have a beater - a "Liahona" hybrid I bought used. With the tire liners and gel tubes, it weighs a ton. Though I ride the heck out of it and indeed I love my urban assault vehicle, it is a bike that might indeed invite disdain, and yet I have never perceived any condescension on their part and the repairs have been right as rain. And it ain't like my antennae ain't up about that kinda stuff either.
I'm sorry to hear that one reviewer who had a bad experience there. I'd say that based on my own experience of several transactions there, it was an anomaly. Everyone has bad days, although I'm certainly sorry to hear about it. Did the reviewer that had the bad experience bring the bike back? What happened then? That's an important part of the story and I'd like to hear it.
But anyway, as for me, my experience with Budget Bike Pro - repairs and purchases - has been all top notch.
I agree with the reviews here. This is a really cool bike store with great vibes and it's in Eagle Rock....yeah!!
Everyone here is passionate about bicycles and they love to help you.
They always greet you with a smile. Help address all of your queries. They have accessories that you can actually use on a daily basis on your bike ride and not just those crazy expensive gears that only the pros will touch.
There are no bike snobs here. Everyone here loves biking so no matter if you're like us weekend beach cruisers or a hardcore racer, you will be greet and treated equally. There are no stupid question here, oh I had lots of those when I first got my bike and they were so polite to answer all of them. Best of all you never feel rushed here.
If you are a local, cruise on over to the store and say hello.
You can get your tires checked and inflated properly for FREE!!
Note: This store is located at the Target complex next to the 2 Fwy exit off ramp. The entrance to the parking lot and the store has it's own entrace. There are no driveways connected from the Target / Macys parking lot to this store location. There is a stairway that does connect the Target and the store. But not practical if you have something large to bring in the store for inspection.
Happy Trails
Fantastic store, treated us right, good prices-- all around, a very good experience. The wife bought a Trek and couldn't be happier with this place. I totally trusted them as they were totally willing to explain everything as we went along... good times.
About a year back, while driving through Eagle Rock for some random reason, my homie Francis wanted to drop by this bike store on Colorado Blvd. He didn't plan on buying anything, but being somewhat of a bike nerd, he just wanted to look. For me, although I didn't need anything, my bike at the time (a 1970's Raleigh 3-speed) was pretty old and relegated to 'easy rides through the park.' So I was curious.
Well, I think I can safely say that that trip to Budget Pro that day definitely made me REALLY want to get a new(er) bike. The setup's real nice, just enough space for all the stuff they have. The employees say hello to you and for the most part aren't bike snobs. They have just about everything for everyone (even kid's bikes), although they don't have a wide selection of single-speed road bikes just yet. Lots of accessories, parts, tools, clothing, and anything bike-related.
I went there today also 'just to look' and a walked out with a new handle bar, some handle bar tape, and a really dope 9-piece mini-tool, all of which I already put to use.
Definitely plan on coming back whenever I'm in town!
There is no other bike store in Los Angeles as user-friendly. Good selection that goes from beginner bikes to ultra high-end. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they are never snooty.
Their shop does really extensive tune-ups for $39. That includes adjusting all the deraliers, lubricating everything, and truing the wheels.
Highly recommended.
Budget has always been willing to go the extra mile to help me with fit and advice, and their prices are very reasonable. A winner all the way around.
Excellent staff members and almost always available mechanics!
Great store, nice service, beautiful bikes. But, pretty pricey (at least in the cruiser department). They only had high end bikes, which a poor student like me can't handle. Too bad, wish I had known so as to avoid the trip out there. So go, but only if you have the dough!
Got to disagree with the other reviewers here. i work in retail as well, so I know customer service. I was treated with total disdain from the whole staff at drop off and pick up of my bike. i am an avid cyclist with a good quality bike that needed a simple tune up. When i took it out for my firwst ride I found that my handle bars were still loose, the breaks were not adjusted and my gear-shifters were out of alignment. Shitty way to spend $69.
I consider myself a beginner bicyclist and have been very happy with the service at this shop. I purchased a Trek road bike there and also have had a Trek hybrid serviced there, as well. I just wish they had a website. (I found them through the Trek corporate site).
