San Diego has a deep cycling culture and plenty of good shops. So why would anyone drive nearly two hours each way? Usually because they want something specific: a Pinarello, Colnago or Cervélo ordered and sized by an authorized dealer, a frame-up build with ENVE, Princeton or Scope wheels and CeramicSpeed bearings, or a fit and build done by the same person.
From this far, the smart approach is a quote request first, then one well-planned visit. For service between visits, ship wheels, frames or bikes to us by arrangement.
San Diego riding, in general terms
San Diego riders have the coast, Mission Bay and climbs like Mount Soledad close to home, with the coast road north and the hills inland for longer days. Sunshine most of the year means a lot of miles, and coastal air means salt.
High mileage wears chains, cassettes and tires faster than most riders expect, and salt air gets into cables and bolts. Keep up with drivetrain cleaning, and ask us to check chain wear whenever the bike is here.
Getting to the shop from San Diego
About 88.1 miles by road from San Diego City Hall (202 C St), roughly 1 hr 50 min to 2 hr 20 min off-peak (approx.; 80.8 mi as the crow flies). The I-5 north carries you most of the way, through Camp Pendleton and San Clemente. Near Irvine you can take the SR-73 toll road or stay toll-free on the I-405, then exit at Fairview Rd for W MacArthur Blvd. Traffic through Pendleton varies a lot.
