Yelp.com Review - by Daniel M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I walked in and said "I'm tall, I'm broke and I'm bikeless." Because of my height I am usually unable to go any random used bike in a pile so I tend to go with new ones. The guy I talked to had the…

Yelp.com Review - by Dara M.

5.0 of 5 stars. After having my last bike partially stolen (some jerk took the back half), I decided it was finally time to return to the world of city bikers. I wasn't willing to get a little fold-up bike. I wanted a…

Yelp.com Review - by m. d.

5.0 of 5 stars. Frank's is the old standby it's easy to take for granted. I'd almost gotten used to the 13 or 14.50 flat fix (new tube) of recycle a bicycle, which is a great place. And I'd assumed, since it was also…

5.0 of 5 stars. Good selection, great prices. If you tell them that what you want is cheap and practical they'll give you cheap and practical. If you want top of the line, they can help with that too. The bike my…

5.0 of 5 stars. The summer of 07. The year of the new me. Regular exercise, proper eating, regular sleep, no more than 4 bags of chips per day. Need a new bike pronto. Want one NOW! After a brief looking-about on…

terrible bike shop and service

I bought a used 3 speed bike from frank's about 2 weeks ago. within a week, the break cables snapped off and the rear axl split in half. No problem it's used and things happen. I brought it back to get it...

5.0 of 5 stars. Frank's is excellent - great prices, no-nonsense bikes, nice folks to deal with. I had help from Eric (super nice guy, highly recommended) and Chris today, and they were both terrific. Eric is very…

5.0 of 5 stars. There is really no other bike shop worthy of any notice. Always good; they fix everything, including stuff you hadn't noticed; they only charge a pittance for even involved repairs; interesting guys.…

No BS bike shop

The staff at Frank's is great! Very polite, down to earth and absolutely no airs about them. They just know everything there is to know about urban biking. Don't let the seeming chaos fool you. I noticed that...

3.0 of 5 stars. I had heard great things, but my experience wasn't so good. Apparently if you deal with Frank you feel like a million bucks, but the salesman I was dealing with was really dismissive and unfriendly.…

Frank's is the best

I've been going here for over 12 years... after having a few bad experiences at other shops (one tried to scam me for 100 for a tune-up) I found Frank's and wouldn't bother a minute in any other shop. Usually...

Bikerific!

We went to a bunch of shops but none of them compared to this Frank's. It's worth the trip down to the LES. They knew so much about the different bikes and what I was looking for. They discounted our purchase...
