I bought my wife's bike at Black Mountain and I used to take my bike in there for repairs. They are very nice and have a lot of items in stock. The wrench who used to work on my bike is an awesome guy but I think that Mike at NOTB runs circles around their service department. I had to take my bike back after each visit because it was not fixed correctly. They always fixed it for free and on the spot but I thought that they lacked some skill.
I may buy gear from there but I will always take my bike to Mike at NOTB. I have not found him to be a bike snob but we do have the same ride so that may be why I have not picked up on it.

I went in yesterday and picked up some Rougues. Cool place. Not much in there, but, as he'll tell you, he can order it. Cool guy too. I feel better spending my $$$ there, but I have to say the price on grips was higher than BB. But, this place is about a half a mile from work.

They've moved. They're still in the same office complex, but now the shop faces Pacific Heights. It's not hard to find.
