I have always had good experiences with Papillon, on the corner of Columbia Pike and Walter Reed. It's a small shop (basically a one-person operation), and the...

I'll second the recommendation for Papillon... Bailey is a great guy, and does good work. He is also one of the few people in the area doing any sort of frame...
Huh. Could have sworn I posted a response, earlier. Anyway, make that a third for Conte's. Excellent place that has provided consistent quality service since...
I have been going to Spokes Etc in Vienna. Not near a Metro and I am about to go back for the 4th time to fix a squeek on my new Trek. Love the people but...
Hate to disagree, but some of the teeny-boppers (er, younger employees) at Conte's looked down their noses at my older, non-sexy bikes and didn't seem to want...
Papillion has been great. The owner seems to be able to deal with anything I throw at him, including old bikes with oddball parts. He leans towards making...
If you broaden this discussion to beyond Arlington, I'd sure recommend The Bike Shop (District Hardware) in DC, two blocks from Foggy Bottom Metro. They have...

I am about to cave and finally put a bell -- "too heavy" -- on the commuter which is a converted cyclocross bike. The bar is oversized such that finding a...
I have that bar end bell, and found that it dinged on every little bump -- I couldn't get through one ride w/o yanking it out. I have an Incredibell Duet,...
I don't have a bell specifically made for a steerer, but I have a regular bell that I have attached to the stem of my road bicycle. (Also running out of room...
I was listening to the jazz in the sculpture garden on Friday when I saw two people walk in with folding bikes that looked considerably different than any...
Hmmm, sounds like the bar end bell is a no go. What Monte described would drive me batty. I know what you are talking about. These "knobs" come in different ...
