Ask Veloaded: authorized dealers and brands

Who is the best Cervélo dealer in Orange County?

We won't claim to be "the best" (no shop can honestly rank itself), but we can tell you what to look for and what we offer. Veloaded Cyclery in Santa Ana is an authorized Cervélo dealer. When you buy through an authorized dealer, the bike comes through Cervélo's official channel and is built and supported by a shop that works with the brand directly.

Things worth checking at any dealer: whether they size you properly from stack and reach rather than a sticker size, who actually builds the bike, and whether they'll fit you and service the bike afterward. At Veloaded, bikes are built on our bench by Edgar Rodriguez, our Founder & Master Builder, and full professional fits are available at the shop. For availability and pricing on a specific model, call (714) 760-4908. See our Cervélo dealer page.

Is there a Pinarello dealer near Los Angeles?

Veloaded Cyclery is an authorized Pinarello dealer in Santa Ana, Orange County, and we work with plenty of riders who come down from Los Angeles County. We're on W MacArthur Blvd just north of the 405, which is the main route most LA riders use to reach us.

If you're shopping for a Pinarello, it helps to call first so we can talk through the model you're considering, your current bike's fit numbers and what's available. We'll look at the frame's stack and reach before recommending a size, and a full professional fit is available once the bike is built. If the drive is a problem for later service, we also accept bikes, frames and wheels shipped to the shop by arrangement. Call (714) 760-4908 for model availability and pricing. More on our Pinarello page for LA riders.

Where can I buy a Colnago in Orange County?

Veloaded Cyclery in Santa Ana is an authorized Colnago dealer. Buying from an authorized dealer means the bike comes through the official channel, and you have a shop that can size it, build it and look after it for the long run.

Before ordering, we compare the Colnago frame's geometry (stack and reach) with your current bike and the way you ride, then choose size, stem and bar. Edgar Rodriguez, our Founder & Master Builder, builds bikes on our own bench, and a full professional bike fit can finish the process. Model availability changes, so call (714) 760-4908 or email [email protected] to ask about a specific Colnago and for a price. See our Colnago dealer page.

Which bike brands is Veloaded Cyclery an authorized dealer for?

Veloaded Cyclery is an authorized dealer for:

• Bikes: Pinarello, Colnago, Cervélo, Look and Scott
• Wheels: ENVE, Princeton and Scope
• Components and drivetrain: Shimano and CeramicSpeed
• Helmets: KASK and MET
• Apparel: ASSOS, Q36.5 and Velocio

Being an authorized dealer means products come through each brand's official channel, and we can help with sizing, setup and after-sale support. We also service bikes of any brand, wherever you bought them. Stock on specific models and sizes changes, so the best way to check is to call (714) 760-4908 before you visit.

Where can I buy ENVE wheels in Orange County?

Veloaded Cyclery in Santa Ana is an authorized ENVE dealer, and we also carry Princeton and Scope wheels. A wheel upgrade is one of the most noticeable changes you can make to a road or gravel bike, but the right choice depends on what you ride: rim depth for your roads and wind, internal width for your tire size, hub and freehub compatibility with your drivetrain, and whether you want to run tubeless.

We'll talk through those with you, check compatibility with your frame and groupset, and set the wheels up properly, including tubeless setup if you want it. If you're outside Orange County, you can arrange to ship your bike or wheels to the shop. For current availability and a quote, call (714) 760-4908.

Why buy a high-end bike from an authorized dealer instead of online?

An authorized dealer has a direct relationship with the brand, so the bike comes through the official channel. Beyond that, the practical differences are sizing, build quality and support.

A high-end frame is only as good as its fit and assembly. At Veloaded Cyclery we size from the frame's stack and reach, compare it with what you ride now, and choose stem and bar before ordering. Edgar Rodriguez, our Founder & Master Builder, builds the bike on our bench, and a full professional fit is available afterward. If something needs attention later, you have a shop that knows the bike. Warranty terms are set by each manufacturer, so ask us about a specific brand's policy. We're an authorized dealer for Pinarello, Colnago, Cervélo, Look and Scott. Call (714) 760-4908 with questions.
