    I totally vouch for Nir.

    But watch out, if you've got Campy on your road bike he'll talk smack about it! ;)

    Bike Improv is not just a mountain bike shop...
    Nir has a very loyal "road" customer base (lots of roadies on the Westside)

    Nir is a talented mechanic, and his reputation shows. When I moved to LA I was looking for the best mechanics and Bike Improve is the shop that came up over and over. Mr. Tal is like having a team mechanic work on your ride, and I mean this comment with the uppermost respect he is a true "bike snob", and does not sell crap in his shop. Please be advised if you are not a regular customer don't expect on the spot, his skills are in high demand.
