2023 Bike Guide, Part 4 “Higher End Bikes”

Continuing on our 2023 Bike Guides, here is a depiction of what I would consider “higher end” priced bikes (over $2500). These are all bikes we can order for you and have ready to roll in a week (and sometimes less!), depending on availability. Bikes are listed in price order. Pricing shown is MSRP, please add sales tax (8.875) and 1/3 shipping (generally around $35).

See the rest of our 2023 Bike Guides below:

I know there are many cheaper options available online. however, buying through a bike shop has many advantages including bike quality, brand integrity, cost of ownership (repairs, warranty, etc), and the safety of having the bike professionally assembled. With bikes, almost more than anything else, you get what you pay for.

Email, call (347 457 5760) or just stop by to check availability, timeframe or to place an order.
