I am 100% confused by the one star rating on here. \n\nI'm a newbie bicyclist/triathlete and just trying to learn the ins and outs of bike maintenance. I knew my gears were being wonky and I suspected it was my derailleur but I know just enough to make an educated guess and then turn it over to someone that actually has a real clue. Being a newbie I was a bit worried about being taken advantage of or not being considered a \"real\" biker with my 2nd hand Trek. \n\nI'm so glad I stumbled upon Espada's great reviews on Yelp. I easily found the shop right on North Davidson. Parking is like anywhere else in NoDa - sometimes easy, sometimes a pain in the ass. When you walk in you're in an art gallery/jewelry store/bike shop but no worries, bike shop in the back, easy to see. Steve isn't a huge chatter but he was able to take a look at my bike right away and I wondered around the shop as I waited. I asked some questions all of which he easily answered and his prices are beyond reasonable (I'd called around beforehand). I rode around yesterday and my bike is back in business. I never felt like he thought I asked a dumb question (I'm sure I did) and I certainly didn't feel like he tried to up-sale anything\n\nSo go support this local bike shop and check out the art while you wait.
