2007-11-02 15:03:21   Excellent service and adorable family. Aaron fixed my flat tire in minutes (unlike other shops that wanted me to wait 1-2 hours). Unbeatable prices as well- 10% discount for students! I would highly recommend it and will go back there every time. —Nicole1985

2007-11-20 16:43:19   Just brought in my flat tire to get repaired. Aaron (I presume), deftly fixed it within minutes and was very friendly. Prices are competitive so I definitely recommend this place to anybody with need of bike services. —egyan

2008-02-03 15:51:33   Aaron rebuilt the drive train (new bottom bracket, cranks chain ring and back cog) on my early 1970's red fixed gear Peugeot and it runs great. I couldn't be any happier with it. Before I found Apex Cycles (I am new to Davis as of the Summer of 07) I had a few other bike shops try to fix my broken chain ring, bottom bracket and cranks. They all gave up and told me to scrap my beloved frame and get a new bike. Aaron was able to remove the old French bottom bracket and cut new threads for a more modern external barring type bottom bracket. He then put new Shimano cranks, chain ring and a quality Soma back cog on my bike and it is awesome. I always make sure to go to Aaron for any repairs work I need done on my fixed gear Peugeot. —albertobob

2008-02-11 08:53:42   Very highly recommended. The owner, Aaron, was kind enough to set up a Sunday appointment for me, even though it wasn't a huge job. This is a smaller bike shop than the others, and you feel more like a personal client than just a customer: they give you and your bike their 100% undivided attention and are super-focused on getting your bike exactly the way you want it to be. —bikelover

2008-04-04 19:56:42   I had a wonderful experience at this store. I took in a couple of beach cruisers earlier this week to fix some small things and add some accessories. He told me the bikes would be ready today and they were. I first came to this store and asked a million questions and got them all answered with a patient attitude. I walked around to 3 other bike stores located downtown and got very similar price quotes from all of them. I decided to get the work done here because of the helpfulness of the owner (who does most of the sales and work himself) and because of the 10% student discount. He fixed a flat, aligned a tire, added a kickstand, added a rack and two rear baskets, added a front basket, added two front lights, modified the handles, cleaned the bikes, and oiled my chain. He did all of this and charged me only 40 dollars for 40 minutes of labor. I thought this was a very fair price. After the sale he even lowered the seat on one of the bikes with a smile. The only downside about this store is that it is very small and does not have a huge stock of parts/accessories. If you need to buy something and have it installed same-day, this may not be the place for you. If you're willing to wait, then he can order just about anything and have it within a day or two. All in all this guy charges fair prices (especially for students), does good/fast work, and will give you straight answers without any BS trying to get you to buy stuff you don't need. Thanks Aaron! We love our bikes and will definitely return for future cycling needs. —BlairGoss

2008-04-18 21:43:09   owner is friendly. bought some bike supplies today. i will be back for any bike related needs. —kelvinkay

2008-06-09 08:11:40   Aaron did a great job resurrecting my 20 year-old Trek road bike. He did a great job replacing and adding what we discussed. I felt he made a conscious effort to steer me toward what I needed and what was most cost-efficient. He picked it up on a Friday and dropped it off the next Tuesday. I was very happy with the service and the cost was reasonable. —BigGuy

2008-06-27   Aaron did a good job building an older Bridgestone frame into a finished fixed gear/single speed bike. He answered all my questions, and built the bike in only a few days (talked with him Saturday, it was ready on Tuesday). He even gave a student discount on the lock and lights that I bought separately. I really like riding this bike around town, and will go back to APEX Cycles in the future. —JohnCAnderson

2008-06-28 00:24:55   Aaron sold me a fixed gear road bike and he changed it to a single speed road bike as I requested. He didn't charge me any money except for the parts :D. He worked quite fast and very promising. I am very happy with my purchase. Great guy to talk to :D. He gave me discounts. Ask if you want a discount, he is willing to give you a discount if you just ask. —phuneverdie

2008-07-17 18:56:06   I just called Aaron and the same day, he came over and fixed my flat tire within minutes. He was very friendly and did an awesome job! I recommend him to everyone!! —akwiat11

2008-08-09 21:00:35   Definitely better than all the other bike stores around Davis. Nice and timely. —dbrand

2008-08-20 15:27:34   Just bought a couple things off Aaron (store owner), I actually got a really good deal comparable to the other stores in Davis and even online. If anybody rides a fixed gear, you should go to him and talk to him about it. I got a new tire and at Freewheeler it was 39.99 + Tax, Wheelworks it was around the same but at APEX, I got for 29 including tax. He has student discounts so word. —btt

2008-08-20 18:05:46   Really awesome place to go get your bike fixed or just to buy parts. The owner is really nice and knows his bikes very well. The service is also very fast and students get a discount! —Ray916

2008-08-22 12:11:42   Took my old piece of crap in, and Aaron was really helpful, getting my wheel back in true in about 15 minutes. Really nice guy, too. —JoshuaSchraiber

2008-09-09 21:14:03   YAAAA grand re opening

do you do work on old ass moultens? specifically a 4 speed sturmey where I broke the little axle thingy... I have a moulten from the early 60's with full suspension that actually works great. —StevenDaubert

2008-09-10 08:03:48   This place is awesome the owner is a class act! He the owner has a great worker named Simon great mechanic and darn good person, If you want a great fixie or just a repair this place is second to no one!! —Brians

2008-09-13 15:52:30   Apex does a great job with repairs and tune-ups. They really work with you to make sure that you are satisfied with the result. If you need any major repairs done, this is definitely the place to go. If you are just looking for parts, on the other hand, some of the prices here are high ($6.99 for a set of two plastic tire levers). —CameronTracy

2008-09-17 14:29:39   Late last night, I was searching for a good reliable bike repair place in town and found all these nice reviews for Apex. I emailed them a question last night and this morning (before 8am), I got a prompt email response. I brought the bike in this morning and Aaron fixed it while I waited (the chain needed adjustment) and he didn't charge me anything for this! This is clearly the bike shop that I will recommend to everyone I know (starting with this post on daviswiki)! Thanks Aaron! —joonglee

2008-09-19 22:21:09   Don't shop around — just go see Aaron. Friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable... I'm bicycle repair impaired, and it is very obvious... I asked about a million questions Aaron was happy to answer all of them. Princess is super nice, too. —MichellePalmer

2008-09-29 12:22:28   I purchased a bike here a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Super nice staff, great local business. I wont use another bike shop again!! —AshleyTeodorsonVau

2008-10-08 12:46:58   Great service, super-fast, emailed the night before and Aaron took my bike in the next day when the Bike Barn said they wouldn't take it for a month. Friendly, knowledgeable, good price - definitely the first place I'll take my bike in the future! —evureyday

2008-11-03 18:03:03   Best mechanics out there. Simion is the man when it comes to precise repairs. You don't need to go anywhere else! —KateKat

2008-11-07 16:48:43   apex is legit. that's all i have to say. —MiranPark

2008-11-30 19:17:12   Are you slowing down? Feel like peeping the moulten? —StevenDaubert

2008-12-09 13:38:57   The Bike Barn has more fixie stuff and at better prices!! —shorty

2008-12-30 20:29:53   Apex is a wonderful resource for anyone trying to learn more about their bicycle, regardless of its variety. I was interested in buying a fixed gear for campus/local use and Aaron and some of the fixed gearheads that hang out there have really helped me a lot. Aaron cators to the needs of students of all price ranges and provides a super comfortable environment for you to ask questions and learn more about your gear. I am endlessly appreciative for the assistance that Aaron has given me in ordering and building my Leader, Thanks :D —Deuces
