We strive for perfection in every job we do - Much like a fine restaurant!

We have been working on bikes and offering a wide variety of services to keep cyclists riding for nearly 50 years. From fixing a flat tire to component overhauling or replacement we do all repairs on any bike brands except welding and painting. We can also assemble bikes purchased on-line, and we offer shipping services, too.

Many of the parts on a bicycle, although separate, are connected and may depend upon different part to operate properly. For example – a simple brake adjustment depends upon a tight lever and a cable that runs freely. Also the wheel needs to run true (straight) and the hub needs to be properly adjusted.

The current selection of bicycles on the market incorporate a wide variety of component parts. We not only stock a vast selection of these component parts, but we know how to make them work together and perform. The repair personnel use high grade professional tools and can tackle any repair job. Over the last several years our repair department has averaged a 2 day turnaround. During 2020-2021, because of pandemic limitations, the turnaround may take a little longer. Babcock's service prices are based on time and the flat rate book.

We stand behind our work and will answer your questions regarding your repair. Master Mechanics Kevin Babcock and John Martens will be responsible for the quality work put into your repair. Martens has 25+ years of bike shop repair experience, while Babcock has 45+ years of bike shop experience including being named head mechanic for Jim Black's trans-continental record attempt. Both men have several bicycle repair certifications.

We offer a very huge collection of Shimano bike components and accessories at Babcock Bikes. We service many different bike brands including Shimano, as their Authorized Dealer. Shop bicycle pedals, shoes, brakes, wheels and more.
