Owning a bike is one thing.  Being able to readily maintain your own bike is a whole new level.  Nothing is more liberating than being able to get around freely without concern for being caught out with a mechanical helpless.

As part of our customer appreciation we’ve always organized free maintenance workshops.  This week we’ll be hosting three in a row, each with a focus on some new aspect of bicycle maintenance.  Here’s the break down. Read more

Custom Paint

We do custom paint and it’s on point.  For years now we’ve searched for the perfect paint job.  Whether it was factory issue or done in town it’s always been a struggle to provide a high quality paint job, both durable and beautifully finished, that could be done in a timely fashion and at a fair price.

As they say, do it right or don’t do it at all.  Natooke is now offering custom paint jobs and resprays, done in town at a price that can’t be beat.  Is your bike looking a little beaten up?  Stop in and see what it takes to have it redone. Read more
