I first met Jon Tallerico about 2 years ago when I started riding a vintage road bike my son gave me. Jon made some adjustments, changed out the rear wheel and made some other improvements. But he suggested that I would outgrow this bike and would need to upgrade. I really didn’t want to spend the money on a new road bike but received similar urgings from my biking friends. I finally reached the point where riding was becoming a bigger part of my outdoor life and I knew I needed to bite the bullet.
Late last year I began the research of comparing off-the-shelf road and touring bikes and it became clear I needed to get myself educated about what I was buying and what I really needed. Jon had offered to counsel me thru this process. So, when I called him for help, he suggested I consider having him custom build a bike which was specific to my needs and fit. I was amazed to find that the cost was about the same!
Over the past few weeks Jon has been phenomenal. He measured me up and based upon his knowledge of my riding style and usage of a bike, recommended that he build me a ‘sport- touring’ bike. Originally he promised to deliver in about 7 weeks. However, he completed the bike in less that 3 weeks!
I cannot be more pleased. I have put about 200 miles on the bike including 2 climbs up Mount Diablo and the bike is performing excellently. When I brought it back in after a week, Jon made the necessary adjustments and he also helped to fit-up the pedals, cleats and shoes to get optimal performance.
Jon really understands what is needed to build the perfect bike. He understood my personality, desires and why I enjoyed riding so much and built me a bike that reflected all of that.
Thank You Jon Tallerico.

What I love the most about this bicycle shop is that they put the needs of their customers at the top of their priority list. Quick to assist and even answer queries.
