Eric is the MAN! He just restored a beautiful Italian Olmo road bike for me - see photo. New chain, derailleurs, brakes, tubes, cables, and more - all to the tune of ~$200 (probably half of what it would’ve cost in Atlanta!) I recommend Eric and The Gear Attic if you’re looking for honest pricing, mechanical expertise, and unmatched knowledge of local roads/trails/races. Now… time for me to figure out how friction shifters work on my first roadie!

Terrible service! Had to jump through hoops to return my item due to invalid shipping labels sent to me, twice. Pushed me off on Amazon, Amazon blamed them. Finally got a “refund” of $10.40 after I spent $139.09 on the item due to “restocking fee” of $128.69. Absolutely insane!!! Would 100% not recommend to anyone! Also disputing with my bank!

So happy I purchased two road bikes from the Gear Attic. Professional fitting and component selection from a former pro rider + good manufacturer selection. Bikes were assembled on time and ready to roll. Also picked up some great gear. I would highly recommend this shop for price and professionalism.

Eric and his staff at the gear attic are very professional and also extremely friendly. They do great work and can find you basically any part needed. They sponsor our cycling team and it’s a joy to have them on our side. I really recommend stopping here if you need maintenance or are looking to pick up a bike at a smoking good deal.

Love getting my gear from Eric and the Gear Attic. No upselling, only considered, knowledgeable service tailored to my needs and style of riding. Not somebody just on the clock selling any old thing. Quality pro service at reasonable prices, no wasting of my time and the equipment always works and lasts.

In the sea of bike shops, The Gear Attic is an almost-hidden gem. I got a Time road bike there earlier this year and had such a good experience that I ended up getting a Time gravel bike there, too. Would give six stars, if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got me in and out quickly. Eric did a great job throwing me on a new chain I broke riding around campus. Guard dog is cool too.

Great shop! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I needed a new pair of cycling shoes, but they didn’t have my size in stock. They ordered my size and the shoes arrived less than 48 hours later. Staff also helped to attach my cleats to the shoes and swap pedals on my bike. It’s those little things that really make a bike shop stand out from the others. Would highly recommend!

Great service, super knowledgeable, amazing customer service. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I tried several shoes and he walked me through my options each time, working with me until I found exactly what I wanted. And he stored them!

Had great success with orders from the Gear Attic, fair prices, fast shipping and a truly curated selection. I like how I can contact Eric directly, get exactly what I need at a very fair price and it ships right away.
