Fremont Schwinn Cyclery

Oh my god… I went to this damn place with my $ 400+ bike which I had bought from here. The owner had promised me that any repairs on the bike would be at reduced prices. I had two flat tires which needed to be fixed and I go in and get charged double the amount I was promised. And the fact that he had charged my cousin for the «exact same issue» at the reduced price pissed me off even more. I kept telling him that my cousin got it at this rate, why are you charging me more? But he just DID NOT LISTEN. These guys are just liars and cheats. I could have just gotten it fixed in San Jose where I live for cheaper than what they charged me.

Just purchased a bike from Fremont Schwinn Cyclery for my son for Christmas. Phenomenal service and communication. James was very detail oriented, communicated clearly when my bike would come in from the factory, when it would be built, and when it would be ready. These folks delivered on every aspect of the sale and I’m sure if there are any problems in the future with the bike, there’s no question in my mind they would do what it takes to resolve them. A+

The customer service is as good as is gets! I recently took up cycling again and needed some repairs on an old bike. Ha (The owner) was able to get my bike up and running in less than 10 minutes!
Came back for a popped tube. Fixed in 5 minutes! Great pricing! Won’t go anywhere else for cycling repairs or questions.

Yay, I think he is helpful and not over charging his customers. I bought the bike there and he can get it ready in time as well. I give him a like. :)

Called with a simple brake issue and was back home with a fixed back in less than an hour. The other place I called wasn’t gonna be able to fit me in until Friday (I called on a Monday) and they quoted me double what Fremont Schwinn ended up costing. It took me longer to get my bike on the bike rack and drive over there than it did for the guy to see the problem, make suggestion and have it fixed. I don’t think I’ll ever go to another shop!

My bike broke on a ride today, Sunday, and I had to take it in. I was in quite a spot because I needed it the following day to ride to work. They fixed it on the spot and then charge me only $ 10. Derailer, seat adjustment and brakes. Really helped me out, I can’t say enough good things about the service.

Outstanding customer service! James was very informative and helpful in selecting a bike. He was openly straight forward, answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. There was no hard sell and he made us feel very comfortable with our purchase. After prepping the bike, he found out that the car trunk was full, he went above and beyond our expectations and volunteered to drop off the bike at our house.
I’d have no problem buying another bike from Fremont Schwinn in the future and would highly recommend this shop to friends.

very friendly and helpful people, my bike needed a tune up and they did a great job– so much better than REI.

Great shop. Always friendly and the prices are very fair considering how good the work is here. This is my first stop for repairs & tune ups. I’ll even check here for equipment before I subject myself to a big box store. I’d rather buy from here than Dicks.

Spring break is almost here so I wanted to get my son’s bike ready. I’ve tried to adjust the front shifter without success so it’s time for professional help. James and Mr. Ha got the bike the smoothest it has ever been, and I saw the big smile on my son’s face; he couldn’t wait to go riding in his newly tuned bike. $ 50 for the adjustment/​tune up. Thanks Fremont Schwinn Cyclery!

Came here to quickly get my pike pedals swapped out as I didn’t want to change them myself… I know I know, maybe I should’ve done it myself however I had previously declared that Sunday a ‘lazy day’ so there was just… no way I could.. .
Anyways, came here and they quickly made the change for me for 5 $ and even applied grease! Overall, great quick service and no fluff. Just the way I like it.
Pros:
— Great central location
— Close to the farmers market if you wanted to buy something WHILE getting your bike maintained.
— Good service
— No fluff
— No upselling
Cons:
— Store is a little dilapidated
— Didn’t have much to sell. from the looks of it compared to other bike shops
protip: Give the place a try if Unilocal says its the closest shop to you!

Found this place on Unilocal because I needed to get my Bob stroller’s front tire flat fixed. I just walked in and he replaced the tire’s tube in less than 5 mins… it was quick and easy. Next time I get a flat I will definitely be back.

Great service, went in yesterday with 2 flat tires had them fixed in 10 mins ! Very affordable prices

I have been to this place to buy my first Schwinn Hybrid bike 4 years ago back in 2010 for $ 400. I ride only on weekends and have 2000 miles on it. I had excellent service from James and his dad I would like to respectfully refer to as Mr. Ha. Often, the comment is no charge. I probably spent $ 100 over the last 4 years to maintain this bike and that includes rear view mirrors I added.
A biking partner of mine had a carbon fiber Canondale bike. He wanted better gear ratio to climb steepr roads. For less than $ 100 his bike can climb. No kidding!
I wanted to go up a little faster on the same slopes to keep up with my partners. James suggested smaller tires and installed them for about $ 50. Nice improvement. In fact, I got smaller tires put on my son’s $ 200 Walmart bike and he is very happy with that bike.
I bought a Fuji Newest 4.0 2012 road bike used and took it and asked James to tell me what it needs. He took 10 minutes to test and said it is good to go as is. I asked him to install trip meter and kickstand. 45minutes and $ 55 later, I rode the bike.
Update: After riding up and down Pine St in Fremont I felt I needed more climbing gears. Back to the shop. James replaced the rear cassette from 12 – 25 to 12 – 32 and $ 40 including parts. I am back climbing again!

This is the only shop in Fremont when you want to buy or fix any bike. The owner is so helpful and honorable. I tried another bike shop and they charged me over $ 150 just to prep it for summer. He has always been reasonable and if I don’t need it fixed he won’t charge me. My daughter has now selected her new schwinn here and it’s perfect!
I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Classic bike shop with great service and no drama. Come here if you need a flat tire fixed or if you need to adjust anything on your bike.

This is the place to go if you have bike problems or just want to maintain. The old Asian guy knows his stuff! The last time I went in with my 800 dollar fuji bike that had a quarter of the front wheel spokes missing. I left it with him for 4 hours and he replaced all the broken spokes and made sure my bike ran well. Also bought a bike light and nice chain lock. Price ran me around 80 dollars total. Other places would easily charge me 150 and make me leave the bike over night. I live in LA and I’m willing to bring my bike all the way up just to go to this guy. I don’t trust any other bike mechanic. Go here for bike repair and you will not be disappointed!
One tip. Do not buy bikes here… You can get better deals online and a much larger variety!

Super fast and affordable service! We came in on a weekday morning and the kind elderly gentleman stopped what he was doing to fix my daughters flat. He even gave me the right bolt since we had lost one.
I’m so happy I found this place, I’m willing to drive from Milpitas to get first class customer service.

I love Fremont Schwinn for their helpful and sincere opinions. I purchased my MB from Schwinn about 2 years ago and I always go here to get what I need. The one day I needed cable wrap for my bike it was closed for the day. So I impatiently went over to Bicycle Garage and not only did I purchase overpriced cable wrap I was told I needed things I didn’t need like, a «Shock Pump» for $ 35, yah right. I really dislike that little fancy bike shop. The arrogant sales guys always seem like they are to busy for you and all your questions are stupid.
So after all that I didn’t even finish installing my cable. I took it over to Mr. Ha and James. I was told that a fork pump was not necessary for a one time use among other honest opinions. James installed my cable and set the SAG on my shocks for $ 12 and wouldn’t even except a tip because I purchased my bike with them. The shop may not be all glitzy and fancy but Wow. if you want honest and good people to work with visit this shop.
They will always have my business.

It’s been three days since my tune-​up and I still can’t get over how smooth she rides. My commutes to work have never been faster (I’m actually writing this at work because I got here earlier than usual). It feels like I just got a brand new bike. The gears never shifted so smoothly and I finally don’t need to hesitate to ride my bike hard.
I’ve been going to this shop since I was a little kid. The shop owner has been the same guy for as long as I can remember. He’s been with me through all my bike phases — from training wheels to my first BMX through all of my flats and now that I’m out of college and getting into road biking and touring, he’s there to help me out.
He told me how many problems my bike had and laid out everything that was wrong with it after the tune-​up. He put a lot of time into this tune-​up and it shows!
The shop itself doesn’t try to put one over on you. It’s bare bones — no hub-​bub. There’s an awesome vintage Schwinn’s sign out front. Everything I want in my LBS and nothing more. For as long as I stick around here (although ironically the shop owner provides me with the very transportation I use to go out and explore), I will continue to take advantage of his service and shop.
