Review from Jonathan F.
Fresno, CA
8/9/2010
Went to buy a chain, get it replaced, and get some tuning done. Work quality was good. Labor prices were amazingly cheap when compared to LA prices. Another plus was the quick turn around. I dropped my bike off around 1 and picked it up at 6.
Store is amazingly stocked and has a ton of higher end stuff which I would envision myself buying in the future when I have the money to spend. -

This is the worst bike shop I have ever dealt with. Here are my two encounters with them:
I left my bike there to get new cables on a Monday and was told it would be ready by Wednesday. I was busy and only stopped by to pick it up on Friday. Guess what, the bike was still sitting there, untouched. I took it back home and did the job myself.
On the other encounter they ripped me off. I needed a special nut for my seatpost that Cervelo sells on their website for $0.20. They charged me $10 for it. I also ordered the same part at City Bikes in Aventura and they didn't even charge me...
I never bought a bike from them (never will) but I would not expect to get different treatment. -

I have a tip for the wrenches in this place ... when you see a guy walk in with a bike that is clearly an appendix of himself - someone that obviously knows a thing or two about cycling, and his equipment - don't go arguing with him about what is best for his bike - WRONG !!
These guys are dismal, I had to completely reinstall my bike computer because they left cables dangling all over my front fork, the taping job on my handlebars - sucked !! I had to buy more tape and do it myself. Should have done right from the beginning - so I thought I would save time, not so... had to redo the work myself because these guys just don't know how to properly tune up a bike.
I would rather drive to the shops in South Miami, Coral Gables or Pinecrest - the mechanics there are true bike enthusiasts and they know product.
Not in Doral !!! Skip this place - not worth it.Listed in: Fit... Miami = They're…, Bike Shops

Went to RB in Doral after doing extensive research on what I was looking for in a road bike. Nothing too crazy but not a low-end bike. I sent several shops emails asking about availability of the various brands and models I was looking at. Received a few nice messages back. The one I received from RB was just a stock reply.
I had decided on a couple shops to visit. RB was not one of them but because I was in the area I thought I would just drop by.
Walk in the door, wander around for a bit while a couple guys are chatting. Finally I walk right up to the guys behind the counter, who were still just chatting, and asked them about the bikes I wanted. Turns out, the factory reps were there the day prior and had demo rides. I felt like saying if they paid attention to their emails, then they would have known I was interested and contacted me. I asked if they knew where the factory van was today. "No they left town. Took off up north." They then said that the model I was looking for wasn't available yet and it would be a few weeks.
It was obvious I was interrupting their conversation. I left. Called another shop to ask if they knew where the reps were, "Oh they're here, just showed up, we were getting ready to call you." Even if they weren't planning on calling me, it was a nice recovery. "Come on down and we'll get you hooked up."
I will not set foot in RB Cycles again. -

I came back only because I really needed a tube for my tri bike. It was early, they had a bunch of us waiting for them to open, and the owner asked the tech to get me the rare tube (its smaller than the usual sizes) I needed. The tech gives me one - of course the numbers don't match and I insist its not right.
If you read my previous review - its the same guy with the SAME attitude. He insists with his 'tude that it can be used. I go to pay with misgivings, because I KNOW this isn't right, and should have known better. I tell the owner at the register and he calls Mr. Techitude over who gives more of his signature attitude grabs the new one and the old one and stretches them out with the DUH SEE? look on his face. The owner says it should work.
OF COURSE it didn't. Again, I know enough about bikes but had decided to trust them. NOT Mr. Techitude but the owner because we had been talking and he seemed to be straight up and a good guy.
So this morning I walk in with the two (yea, I purchased two like an idiot) and Jose's first words are "I knew it. It didn't fit did it?" Long story short he first tore the whole store up looking for the right size and since they didn't have it gave me a refund and promised to order the right size and told me not to worry that because of the problem they will be 'on him'.
Of course I told him that wouldn't be necessary I will pay for them but told him that Mr. Techitude needed an adjustment more than the bikes he fixes. Jose agreed.
I really appreciate the super service Jose gave me, my past experience had been based solely on my interaction with Mr. T. Yes, its smaller than most places but definitely helps me with my needs when I don't want to drive too far.Listed in: NOT a fan!, Doral Businesses, Sporty Much?

Review from Emily V.

Came to RB Cycles the other day looking for deals on bikes.
This shop has a pretty good selection but it's not too big. The prices are a bit on the high side for what I was looking for. The cashier was pretty good when it came to answering questions and seemed to know a good deal.
I was disappointed to see they only had one kind of bike rack and it didn't include the price on it. We had to ask the cashier.
Again, it's ok and I mostly came here because it was close but we're going to other places to shop for bikes. -

I popped my son's 12" bike tire by inflating it off a scuba tank. I promised we would go for a bike ride after school. I dropped the bike off and 30 minutes later it was ready before my son got home from school. They were nice and courteous. There is nothing worse than failing in the eyes of a 3.5 year old. These guys help me regain my Super Dad powers! Thanks!
