Yelp.com Review - by bradley s.

2.0 of 5 stars. The staff is very rude and talks down to you. I know some things about bikes, not THAT much, but I do ride a lot. I felt so uncomfortable when they were talking to me - mainly because of their tone....

4.0 of 5 stars. Caveat: I know the bike store and the bike stores knows me.My other (new) gripes revolve around the layout of the store. The cash register and repair area are directly in the front of the door. It...

1.0 of 5 stars. A Yelp message to me from the owner:"...we have made the decision not to support any bikes purchased at toy stores or mass market stores. It is not that we can't service them it is that we don't want...

Yelp.com Review - by Simeon T.

4.0 of 5 stars. I read a bunch of the review for Conte's before starting my own, and I want to address what Conte's really is. It's a bike shop, and a bike store. These people live and breath bikes, training, and...

Yelp.com Review - by PE G.

1.0 of 5 stars. I wish that I had read some of the reviews before I shopped at Conte's. I ended up purchasing my bike there last year because I was dazzled by the environment and thought that the "vibe" I was...

Yelp.com Review - by Adam G.

2.0 of 5 stars. 2.5 stars maybe, generally a mixed bag.Many reviewers have it right in my book, this shop mainly caters to sushi-loving wine connoisseurs that have several thousand to spend on a bike he/she'll rarely...

Yelp.com Review - by Stephen D.

1.0 of 5 stars. As mentioned here before, Conte's is a high-end bike shop operated by an elitist staff. Here's my experience:I walk in around on a Monday afternoon and see three employees standing around behind the...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan M.

1.0 of 5 stars. Conte's is only interested in helping you if you are in to high-end biking. They want nothing to do with you if you're a newbie. I'm a beginner and, upon taking my hand-me-down bike in for a quick...

Yelp.com Review - by Jeff S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I will start by saying that I didn't actually buy anything on my visit to Conte's. However, if I get a new bike, I most likely will.The store had a huge selection of bikes and accessories for the avid...
