I have had two different bikes serviced at Chainsmith and bought merchandise from their store. Mechanics are the most knowledgeable I have encountered and explained all work and parts required before they commenced.Completely fixed long running issues others had failed to identify. Finished on time and always phoned to let me know. Excellent service and friendly as well.
