As it seems to be getting harder coming across a good bike shop (see this post for my experience with Fleet Cycles as an example) I thought I would give a heads-up to Bike Force in Fremantle. My last experience with Bike Force at Fremantle was in July 2007 when I was shopping for my first bike. Lets just say I was less than impressed and walked off into Fleet Cycles. Maybe that was a mistake.

Today I was riding in Fremantle when I broke a chain. Knowing Bike Force was close, I got on the phone to them and yep they could do the chain straight away, no problems. They where true to their promise, where  quick and friendly while I waited the fix of the chain.

What really impressed me but, was the look of the shop. It has changed hands since I last visited and is really a great looking store with a good range of road bikes including Trek, Masi, Ridley as well as others. The accessories are more suited to roadies from what I saw, which again is a nice change from my local bikes shops (LBS).

As an added bonus it has a little coffee shop attached and they run group rides out of the store on Saturday mornings.

Worth checking out in my view, especially now it has changed hands.
