Recommend a bike shop in Bozeman?
Need to have some work done on my bike to ready it for spring break. Can anyone recommend a shop to bring it to? Or to stay away from?

I've always had good luck with Summit.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I avoid most of them and make the trek to GAS in Big Sky. Ask for Skye (sp?).

As of last summer, I pretty much do all my business with Owenhouse. They donate more time/tools/$$$ to The Dirt Concern and the GVBC than any other shop, hands down. I feel like the guys were pretty standoffish at first but are pretty cool now and very helpful. My $.02

Yeah, I've been hearing good things about Owenhouse as of late. They used to be dicks.

I used to go to Owenhouse and Bangtail, though it's been a while.

As a side note, One of the fellas who works at Summit also works with one of the local wildernut groups (I believe MWA, I won't name him here, but it's easy enough to figure out), in town. He's been an advocate of more wilderness and trail closures to bikes. I like Steve the owner, but there is no way in hell I'm spending a dime at a shop who has some dude who is personally trying to fuck over our sport. IMOFWIW.

While we're on the topic of Bozeman here... Will there be anything rideable within 2 hours between 3/25 to 4/20?

my guess is no. probably not the best business decision. regardless of whatever his deal is (i myself am totally all about more wilderness. there's still plenty of great places to ride around here.) i'd still trust the guys at summit over most other shops i've had experiences around here. plus, they're not douchebags.
step off the A, bro.

I take it you never rode all the stuff we recently lost on/off the Crest. Major loss IMHO. More to come. Plenty of wilderness over here (Livingston), not sure why so many BWAGs and such think we need more. It's always empty as far as I can tell. I guess it just gives people the warm fuzzys when they drive 19th and see how we've fucked the valley up to think we need to slap a W on some more land. I don't know, just thinking aloud here. Just bummed to lose so much sledding and mountain biking the last few years. This sure as hell isn't the Montana I grew up in.
Sorry to cunt up your thread OP.

Wanna pedal Saturday? I'm thinking either L&C or Pipestone since it's supposed to be uber warm in the valley. Plus, I still owe you some IPAs.

On topic, I am a huge proponent of Owenhouse. I've known a few of the guys for several years and I ride with some of them. As long at you aren't some bike JONG with a beater for a bike and an entitlement complex, they are the best I've found.
