Had a great experience at Turin yesterday. I needed to replace my hybrid for a road bike so that I have a fighting chance at keeping up with the hubs. Eli was friendly, knowledgeable and didnt even bat an eye when I wanted to test the clipless pedals he recommended. Their inventory looked a bit small but it must be well curated because they had a bike in my size that felt great on my test ride. Thanks, Eli and team!
I shipped my carbon fiber bike from Boston to Chicago and a cable guide broke in transit. I checked with close to twenty shops from Lincoln park to Evanston trying to find a shop that would attempt a repair on a carbon fiber frame. Turin fixed it and it’s as good as new. This will not always be the case since carbon fiber is difficult to repair and most times impossible. Turin is a great shop with great technicians and I wish I could give six stars.
I took one of my bicycles there for the first time. It was an inner tube change. They fixed it within one half hour. They were friendly and gave me a few general tips about other bike issues. And they were priced reasonably. I will use them again.Pat, in Lincoln Square, in Chicago
Excellent and friendly service, they really know what they are doing!! And the bill was not bad at all, they didnt try to charge me for things I didnt actually need.
Been going here for years now, some great new changes in the store as well. But as usual expert advice and friendly assistance
They are really nice here will listen to what’s going on and actually help. I had brought my tricycle to “uptown bikes” paid 170$ for a assembly everything came back loose and fell apart and some things broke because uptown bikes did a bad job and I paid them 170$ being that is they we’re closeted to my location. I highly recommend turin bikes they fixed up good what uptown bikes couldnt provide. I will be telling everyone I know about turin bikes they are a nice neighborhoodly bikes shop 6 stars.
I recently brought my bike here for a tune up but Ive been coming here for all kinds of services in the past. Theyre always fast, knowledgeable, and recommend you realistic solutions (i.e. not buy a new bike). The store itself is clean and well organized. Always a treat coming here!
These guys are great!I recently moved to the neighborhood and rediscovered my bike. Turin has made me hopping back on the bike effortless! Numerous times Ive stopped in because Ive had a flat, my brakes were clamping, and to discuss a tune up. They are very patient with my novice questions and happy to help me understand. They explain my bike problems with words I understand and have also suggested local biking groups!Thank you Johnathon, Renee, and everyone else for always providing a positive, fun, and informational visit :) I always look forward to returning! For now Im going to mess with my new sunglasses I just bought from Turin.
The few bike store in chicago land area that i can tell has the first class customer service ! real talk!
Great local bike shop!
They repaired my flat tire in less than 15 min for $10 for labor plus $5.99 + tax for the tire tube. You could save $5 on labor if you bring only the flat wheel. I dont know anything about bikes so I had to hand over the entire bike and pay a tad more to have them remove and reattached the wheel. Sure I didnt get any warm welcome or smiles when I walked in, but it aint a 5 star hotel. I appreciate the quick and reasonablely priced service and parts. If I get another flat ... Id come back here for help.
I went today to get a kids bike fixed. One of the worker was very rude and had bad altitud. I was very upset, but John was good at handling the situation well. Thanks John
Turin has been taking care of me and my bike for almost a decade. Needing repairs is never fun, but it has become a pleasure to have a reason to stop in and see the crew. Excellent service, fair prices, and a nifty atmosphere in the sleepy Damen area. Plus, you can easily grab a cup of coffee at Perfect Cup while you wait. What could be better??!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, wide range of bikes and equipment. Even during this pandemic they’ve operated smoothly to get everything I needed and setup correctly, thanks Jon! Following all of the necessary protocols while dealing with a massive spike in demand. Small shop, great service!Also, it’s a meeting spot for some of the best group rides in the city.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone who rides a bike or wants to ride a bike.
I was referred here and I now refer this place. Everyone is so nice, knowledgeable, and the service is incredible.
Great spot on Damen for all your biking needs. I stopped in for a tire repair and chain replacement and the friendly and knowledgeable staff attended me quickly. They had me out the door in 5 min! Highly recommended!
Renee and the rest of the team at Turin were incredibly helpful and friendly when I needed some help repairing my Segway. Really appreciate everything and I will definitely be back! Thanks for everything, y’all. Highly recommended!
Bought a Cervello from there a month ago and have had problems with it. Whoever put it together didn’t know what they were doing. Not sure I’d be back.
What a great bike shop!! Helped me carry my bike out of my car and fixed my tire in 5 minutes. Great location and good hours, unlike others in the same area. Great price too.
These people care. They do things right. So glad to have them in the hood!
I went for right break fix and they did it in 10 minutes, was almost lost hope after going to 4 different shop’s
Great staff. Very friendly and professional. Arrived there yesterday with a flat tire and left less than 20 minutes later with a replacement inter tube. Renee was incredibly knowledgeable and deserves a raise. Enjoyed my visit!
The people are nice and informative. But the stores policy of making you wait outside and only letting one or two people in the store is ridiculous. I just wanted to stop by and buy a tube so I can ride to work tomorrow. But the wait was so long I had to hop on the bus or I would be late. Be prepared to wait if u go here
I was just there yesterday and the staff were very friendly helpful and probably the best shop on the block
Great, fast repair and very customer oriented. Thanks Turin!
If youre brown or person of color dont come here because theyll only stare at you from the distance. Made me feel super uncomfortable and left.
I ride a very basic/cheap single speed bike, but despite not being a hardcore bicyclist, I think the staff is always really welcoming and approachable. They always do a great job of explaining the work and whats involved whenever I need a repair. Theyve been a great help whenever Ive gone in to buy accessories and other gear as well
Classic bike shop. Plenty of bike history on display in addition to new stuff.
Great local bike shop. Fast service, knowledgeable employees. Plenty of parts and tools for sale as well. 5/5 I def recommend. Great value.
This is my favorite shop in the city. The entire staff is super friendly and respectful, and they do a great job. I have never felt uncomfortable or talked down to, which is a rarity as a female cyclist. Jon, the manager, is very thorough, responsive and just a cool dude in general. Cannot recommend enough. Dont get intimidated by the Italian name and fancy racing bikes in the window, this shop is for everyone.
Top shelf knowledge a nd service! These guys know cycling.
My favorite bike shop. The team has always been helpful and responsive. A true Chicago gem.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff! Great mechanics and a really cool selection of bikes. Neat high end bikes as well as their own value brand of Turin bikes. This is my go-to shop in Chicago!
I stopped in today to get a Turin sticker for my 90 Pinarello restoration, which sold me the frameset years ago. Enjoyed a great chat with Lee, and got an amazing headlamp. Truly a bikers shop. Ill be back soon for some great winter gear.
A welcome addition to the neighborhood. Very quick, attentive service by a knowledgeable, friendly staff. They fixed a flat, installed a new kick stand, found me a helmet that fit my huge head all in around 10 minutes. They did a great job. They also have some INCREDIBLE looking bikes!If you are in the neighborhood, need a new bike or service of an existing bike - give them a try.
Great selection of bikes and accessories. Everything seemed to be of incredibly high quality and the shop was pristine but the service was terrible. Staff seemed more interested in chatting with each other than even trying to help me. Seemed very pompous. Im surprised, I expected to be more welcome given neighborhood vibe
Always upfront, always transparent. Local folks that are clear about what theyre doing and provide quick services. Cant recommend a single place other than this if youre in the area.
Really great bike shop. I came here because I wanted to learn more about bicycles, and Chris, the proprietor of the shop was immensely helpful in helping me figure out what kind of bike Id need for my frame, and for the wrist pain o generally have whole riding a bike. At no point was there undue pressure on me to make a purchase. This is a place that is run by and for bike lovers.I got sucked into a conversation about everything bike related and Chris proved to be incredibly knowledgeable about all of it.Whether youre a newbie like me or an experienced bike owner, Turin has you covered
Great custom bikes and repair work all at reasonable prices. Great staff too.
Super professional, very knowledgeable and incredibly inviting
Awesome shop with awesome staff. Very helpful. Went to buy new bike shoes and they hooked up the cleats and let me try it out on a stationary bike. Highly recommend!
The original Turin cycling team raced under the 7-Up brand for the USAs international racing team. They also played the Italian cycling team in Breaking Away. =) Ive been riding their group rides for a few years and would recommend them to any (strong) experienced cyclist. Aside from the history, the shop has great staff, great equipment, and are a representative group of the best that Chicago cycling has to offer. I have friends at Turin from my frequent visits, but Im not financially motivated to write nice things in any way. =)
This shop is my absolute go to. Ive had terrible luck with one of my tires recently and theyve been so helpful and kind. They know their stuff and their prices are extremely fair. Go here! Ill be buying my next ride from these peeps 100%.
Super friendly and helpful. Theyre not out to steal your money like some other shops in the area. This is my go to for anything bike related. Superior customer service!
Wonderful staff! I came in looking for help attaching my Saris Bones 2 bike rack to my car and they were ready to help as soon as I came in. The employee came out to my car, attached the bike rack, and showed me all the proper mechanics of it. Will be back for all my bike needs!
Fantastic neighborhood bike shop! A good selection of bike gear (clothes, cold weather needs, helmets and bikes). Parking is always a non-issue and the shop is dog friendly, for those who like to shop with your pups. The Turin branded bike wear is super reasonably priced!
Blew out my rear fat tire wheel, after calling a few other places up and getting wishy washy answers, I simply stopped in on my way from work to see what they could do and with in 10 minutes. They put a new tubeless tire on and had me out the door. Awesome Friendly service
Ive been in a few times this summer, and everyone Ive talked to has been great. Amazing selection of shoes. Thanks!
I went in here yesterday to see if my bike needed a tune up. Not only did they service my bike for free but they were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I did end up buying accessories for my bike which they installed for free. These guys know whats up in the bike world. They went from beginner questions from me about how much to inflate my tires to crazy questions about racing rims (not from me) without skipping a beat. One little thing that stuck out was that the door was closed when I got there with my bike. In the 2 seconds that it took me to begin to figure out how to open the door and get my giant bike through, Chris came from behind the counter and opened it for me. That was a huge thing in my mind. Totally polite, not pushy about selling stuff and just downright fantastic. Ive decided to not go to another bike shop ever. They used to be in Evanston previously and I will have to stay that their service ethic has escalated. They have only been here for 3 months but I have to say that I hope they are here to stay. Check them out. Total value for money, totally trustworthy and downright decent. Happy trails!
Great service and very knowledgeable. Also they give honest advice. Not trying to push anything.
Genuinely, one of the more pleasant experiences Ive had at a bike shop since I moved to Chicago! I can barely remember the last time I was able to walk into a shop with a problem and walk out with a fixed bike in under 30 minutes, but thats exactly what happened. And theyre reasonably priced too! So many other shops will just put you on a 3-day waiting list no matter what the issue is, and I so often leave feeling pice-gauged, but not here. 10/10 would recommend!
Wonderful helpful knowledgeable friendly staff that helped myself and my boyfriend get set up on some great new bikes . As a novice cyclist they were so easy to work with and helped us get the best fit of bikes for our bodies and our budget. What a great experience, I highly recommend Turin!!
Love Turin! They saved me with all my wheel issues! John is very knowledgeable does the best work that Ive ever seen.
They have got to be the friendliest bike shop in town. They are so helpful and have great prices.
Turins staff is friendly and really knows what they are talking about. They also have some of the best bike mechanics in the city. They take the time to make sure they do the job correctly.
I dont even live in Chicago, and this isnt my LBS, but wow were these folks (Chris in particular) helpful to me over the phone and online. They went above and beyond. What an exemplary company.
This is a great bike shop - their staff is helpful and knowledgeable. They sell high-end road and cyclocross bikes from brands like Colnago, Focus, and Moots. They offer fast turnaround time on services as well
These dudes are awesome.
Turin is an excellent full-service Bike Shop with a great selection of merch for both regular and Road cyclist. Excellent on-site mechanics too.
We stopped by a few minutes before closing and they didnt act bothered, instead they helped us out and he even recommended getting the batteries we were going to get there, were going to be cheaper at the CVS.The short experience we had here at Turin will definitely get us to come back here.
Excellent customer service. Knowledgable and experienced staff. Would not take my bike anywhere else.
The best. Stylish interior. Honest mechanics. Great bikes (including Brompton).
Friendly. Helpful. Knowledgeable.
THIS PLACE IS IN MY WHEEL-HOUSE !HAVING A BIKE IS TANTAMOUT, IN OUR ECONOMY .HAVING A GOOD ONE LIKE TURIN, NEARBY IS AWESOME !I LOVE THIS PLACE . . .
Great staff. Always super helpful and they love my dog!
Got my front derailur adjusted incorrectly asked for Look Keo replacement bolts and they sold me the wrong ones. Essentially, I got got for @ 10$. On another note, everyone was friendly. Even though I expressed no interest in Lake shoes and was asking about Giros, the dude working there was trying hella hard to sell me some! Lol. Ended up adjusting my front derailur myself and just buying some new Look cleats. I guess thats what I get for being lazy. The coolest part about the shop was that they have lockers and a shower in the back. Pretty cool if you ride to work everyday.
Great neighborhood bike shop. Staff are knowledgable, quick and friendly.
Hands down the friendliest and most helpful staff!
Extremly friendly staff. Very very helpful!!
Very helpful great bike shop.
Great shop, very knowledgeable staff
I had a small problem with my computer sensor mid-ride and this store took care of me for free. Not many stores left to do this.
Good people
