How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

my bike had a back light attached to the seat post when i brought it in. When i asked about during pick up (it was gone) i was basically called a liar as they insisted it was not there, but i know it was. I never take it off and I am positive it was there since i have to wrap my bike lock around it so it doesn't block the light, i notice it every time i ride and lock/unlock my bike from a rack, which is every day.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

I had a spoke in my front wheel repaired a month ago. The repair person did not take out the broke spoke nipple, so it was rolling around in the wheel and making a lot of noise. When I brought my bike in a few days ago, the repair person fished it out for me. I would have liked if the first repair person would have taken the time to remove the broken nipple.

What do you like about our products and services?

Easy to deal with. Good inventory. Fair about cancellations. (I bought a bike over the phone to pick up when I came to Santa Monica from my home in Honolulu. When my trip to Santa Monica was cancelled because of a family medical situation, Helen's was willing to cancel the sale and return my payment. Thanks, Helen's. I'll get there eventually.)

Wilber was there when we needed help with our bikes. We can count on him to make sure we have a safe ride and that we are able to ride our bikes every day. This is most important. He's what Helen's is all about!

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

I purchased a Cannondale Scalpel in February - and have had several issues of just sloppy work by your shop
* the dust cap on the rear caliper was not there
* the guide for the front brake line was not installed (I bought a new brush guard to get a new guide)
* the cable termination for the rear derailleur was not properly routed around the clamp so that it interfered with the cahin.
so that it
* the lockout cable for the shocks was improperly installed so it did not lock-out
* the rear brake line connection to the caliper was not properly tightened so that it leaked
* the rear brake line was twisted so that it interfered with the fork when turning
* there were other issues which at the moment I can't recall
You and Cannondale stood by your product when the derailer destructed -- but I now suspect that the cause of the derailer issue was the result of some other sloppy mechanic work.

The supply was low due to holidays. I almost went to another store but Jim, who was helping me on the floor, very nicely took me through some other options in a laid back, very helpful way.
