Thanks to Adrenaline my SS is tuned and complete! Thanks to Neil, Gab, Dave, and Chris (Sar Boats) for hooking me up with the Surly, chain, and additional clips for the Marin frame. They took the time to fix the bike on the spot without me having to drop it off for a week! Always great to hang out and talk crap!

Visited on 1/31/08 to pickup some grips, pedals, and socks. As always, excellent service, promotion of Foes during the upcoming BBQ during President's Day weekend. Thanks Neil!

I just went there today to have my forte single speed kit installed and 26'er Zen Master did a great job. He installed it perfectly and even tightened up my rear brake. They were real friendly as well, when you come into the shop they greet you nicely and they charge fair prices. They have a pretty cool store as well, I loved the CF bianchi they had in the store.


I think its going to become my new LBS for buying parts and repairs.

Very stoked you had a great experience there. I always get treated well there. 15% off STR discount, most parts are in stock or can be ordered, choice bikes (yes that CF Bianchi is off the hook), friendly service, heck they have fixed things on my bike while I was standing there. Other LBSs say come back in 2-3 days. Of course, there is always the occasional smack talking of my massive rear cog on the SS.

You can always say no but then that would be a bad idea!
Thanks Duan, Nam, Gary and Ken for the kind words and "Lambda_drive" glad Dave hooked you up!

Thumbs up Usually

I dont do this but I had to give big thanks for all the help today. This time adrenaline really saved my butt(nOt that they never help b/c they always DO)

Long story short -> I had problems getting my CB petals out from the crank arms so, I've asked the guys if they could give me a hand. Dave was messing with these things for a LONG time and couldnt get the effen things to give in!!! Like a champ he stayed on target and gave the extra effort, pretty much way beyond the call of duty. FINALLy getting the effen things OFF and saving yours trully from a long weekend without a bike!! It may not be much to most but it was for me. I really appreciate the HELP Dave I will get ya your 11th this Sat fooo sure cuzz!!

thanks to Neil too for helping on the petals as well!! U guys ROCK!!

again gracias HUCKERS!!!

dave sacrificed his finger for my crown race when he was installing it onto my REBA. Him and Neil also spent a LOT of time and elbow grease loosening my rear freewheel from my rim that seemed to have seized it self.

Neil, Dave, Jessie, Chris, Gabe always a pleasure when I come in to visit. Thanks for all your help. Got my CK headset and Dave installed it no time. Always friendly and knowlegable service. Enjoy the New Castle boyz.. Btw, that Slayer is a sweet bike.
