LBS Recommendation in So. Cal.

Les said:

I would appreciate a recommendation for a bike shop in Southern Calif.
or the San Gabriel Valley area that carry LeMond and that has someone
that can do a GOOD fitting. The bike will be a LeMond and the main
thing I want to be sure of is a shop that has a reputation for good
fittings. TIA

When you find the shop in the SGV, please let me know.

I don't think he carries LeMond bikes, but I'd talk to Steve Lubanski
at Open Road Bikes in Pasadena (on Sierra Madre, just north of
Colorado). He's been a rider/racer for *ages*, and can probably point
you in the right direction for your bike needs.

A warning: if you visit his shop, watch your step. Steve's the sole
proprietor, mechanic, stockboy, and clean up crew. The latter is, um,
lacking.

A further caveat: I've known Steve for about 15 years, having worked
with him at Euro-Asia Imports. He ain't perfect, but he's darn
knowledgable.

Thanks for the info. I will contact Steve and see if he can steer me in
the right direction. I will watch my step 🙂 Thanks again.

While in Pasadena, you might try Pasadena Cyclery on Foothill Blvd.
It's a couple of miles from Open Road, and they carry LeMond bikes. I
personally have had good luck with them regarding fittings and service
(YMMV)
