HI Robin,
How about Ted Ernst / Triathelete (spelling?) Zombies in Manhattan Beach? I am a newbie, and wanted to rent a road bike to see how it compared to my mb. Raul spent an hour fitting the bike, for a $100 one week rental. I purchased a new bike Friday night, and again was fitted carefully. Raul expects me to come in several times, as he says "we're not done yet". For him, it is all about the joy of riding, not sales. I don't see any financial gain for all the extra time he's giving me, he switches gears, stems, etc., until I'm comfortable. I am convinced his mission in life is to create bike-loving converts.
Their phone: (310) 318-5553 , I think ????
