Specialties

Centraal Cycle is a full service bicycle retailer and repair shop. We sell high quality mountain bikes, road bikes, and equipment. We carry Brianchi, Jamis, Turner, Giro, Fitbike Co.

History

Established in 2009.

Centraal Cycle was founded by Marc Bavineau, a mechanic and cycling enthusiast with over 15 years experience. Before starting Centraal Cycle, Marc ran a bike shop for 8 years and was a mechanic for various pro teams including the 2008 USA Cycling Cyclocross World Championships Team and the U23 US National Moutain Bike team.

The idea behind Centaal Cycle was to be more than just another bike retailer (though we do have a great selection of bikes), but to promote a healthy lifestyle and to add to the local community through cycling. We accomplish this by partnering with leaders in the community and promoting a variety of cycling related events and group rides.

A north shore gem. Complete selection, friendly & knowledgeable service, my go-​to bike store.
I bought a Santa Cruz mountain bike here back in 2013. Marc took the time to review the settings, how to set up and care for the fork, brakes, etc. Not once did I feel rushed or up-​sold. It was clear that he wanted me to be happy with the new bike.
Folks, do yourselves a major and check them out if you’re shopping for a new bike, bike clothes, accessories, cleaning stuff, lube, tools, the whole nine…

This is definitely one of the best bike shops in the area. I have taken my bike to many local shops, and the mechanics here are the most skilled and knowledgeable. The owner, Mark, is especially proficient with mountain bikes. He clearly has years and years of experience working on mountain bikes, and brings a passion from that experience to his work. For anything beyond simple repairs I take my bike here. I have never purchased a bike here, or dealt with anything related to road bikes, but they seem to have all the bases covered. Bike shops are like mechanics, hard to find a good one and hard to trust. These guys are great and I trust them with my bike often. Great shop.

This is by far the best LBS that I’ve ever done business with! I bought a couple bikes from them this weekend and the overall process in dealing with them was terrific. The customer service was second to none but after a couple conversations with the owner Marc it is obvious why the shop is as good as it is, great guy that really cares about his customers and support. I bought a Turner Burner and Santa Cruz Solo for my wife and the build Marc did on both bikes were outstanding. Incredible attention to detail, Marc took the time to go over all the settings and adjustments on both bikes. Although pickup day was one of the first spring days and the shop was busy every customer was helped in short order and there was never a sense of anybody being rushed. This bike shop is a real gem and it was a pleasure to meet and do business with Marc, Evan and Centraal Cycle. Outstanding!

Great service and nice people. Bought my son his bike here and they were wonderful. Fitted, test rode and went over bike carefully before we took it home. I highly recommend buying your bicycle here.

When I decided it was time to upgrade to a serious mountain bike, Centraal Cycle was the place to go.
They’re the only local (North Shore) Santa Cruz dealer. Santa Cruz is a bike company that only makes mountain bikes. No cruisers, no hybrids, no roadies, just mountain bikes. It doesn’t get much more serious than that.
Centraal has a demo fleet, which allows you to take the bikes you’re going to ride in the woods out into the woods to ride them. As a newer biker, that was really important to me. Their friendliness, and willingness to answer lots and lots of newbie questions was key as well.
I’m thrilled with the bike, and I’m thrilled with the service I’ve received from them, as well. They know mountain bikes, because they ride them.

Best bike mechanics in the area and great to do business with. We won’t bring our bikes anywhere else.

Called in to ask if they rent bikes. They found two bikes that met our criteria, and when I rolled in the bikes were already out and waiting. Very accommodating when I asked for drink holders to be put on the bikes.
They carry Jamis and Bianchi bikes, and have a good selection of cycling shoes for American feet (they didn’t seem to carry the well known european skinny-​feet brands haha).
Very nice looking store with a good community feel to it.

Ok. I might have been (more than) a little pissy when I picked my bike up from getting repaired after a major wreck. I’ll chalk that up to it not looking anything like my old Peugot racer, which might be a good thing. Now that I’ve ridden it I can safely say that my old Peugot is back in the game. New everything (!) and whatever you did to my chain, guys, well it just purrs like a kitten. A very, very quiet kitten. My bike rocks and I’m so happy. I even like the new bars, and, well, the tape is growing on me. Thank you so much for the really great work. Worth every penny!

Marc is an acknowledged expert in bike mechanics and service. In fact he was recently quoted in Bicycling magazine. Much more importantly Marc and his staff are experts in customer service. You will get what you need without getting prodded to get what you don’t… Fast, friendly, and fair. Try Centraal. You’ll stay with them.

So friendly and helpful. Decently priced maintenance work for your bike. quick turn-​around when you drop it off for a tune up or other work. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Hopefully they put Brown’s out of the running.

We discovered Centraal Cycle by accident, having found nothing remotely of interest at the bike shop across the street where we’d always gotten bikes in the past, so wandered over to Centraal Cycle out of curiosity even though we didn’t expect to buy a bike from a relatively new shop.
They have great bikes though and Mark was really knowledgeable & helpful, not the least bit pushy, and we were impressed by the customer traffic that seemed like repeat customers.
I loved the Jamis Coda, but still shopped around a bit before coming back to Centraal, we bought two bikes and couldn’t be happy with the entire experience. I’ve sent others there already!

By accident, I discovered Centraal cycle recently, what a great shop. I took my Lemond in for a spring tune (too lazy to do it myself), and had them throw on some tires that I had not gotten around to last season. Ended up getting some new pedals that are easier to get in and out of as well at Mark’s suggestion, in addition to a chain that probably didn’t have a whole lot of miles left on it. Bike was ready by the next day. At pick up it was all sparkly clean and rides great. Nice line of bikes and parts in this shop on Cabot St in Beverly, friendly and timely quality work with all the extra stuff on the rack that you might need at the last minute before you head out the door. They have some nice bikes in there too btw, and while I was there on a spring afternoon weekday, they were a few people buying new bikes! I think they opened up this past August, so still in the first year, definitely worth the visit to dust off your bike, and get it going for the season whether you are a low end recreational rider, or high end nutjob, or are just looking for a commuter bike.

This is a great shop with an owner who is not pretentious, but really down to earth and a great mechanic. He doesn’t try to sell you things you don’t need, and has a simple, organized shop that isn’t cluttered.
I would highly recommend him for bike repairs and retail purchases, as his shop is independent and retail prices match those at REI.
I’m a commuter, and he fixes my bike in hours if I need it fast, which I usually do.
