Mission Bicycle Company at 766 Valencia Street, San Francisco, California.

Love love LOVE this place. I have the exact single speed bike of my dreams. Gears have always confused the hell out of me (being OCD meant I could never find the perfect speed to be in) and what I wanted for daily use was just a bike that was functional, gorgeous and made with precision. The Mission Bicycle Company helped me attain that dream bike. I went into the store (highly recommend that you visit the store if you can) and some very patient and helpful employees assisted me in creating a custom bike. Seriously, every aspect of the bike was chosen by me.

People say this place is pricey and whereas the bike wasn't cheap, I also think the value I received for the bike is far greater than what I paid for it. I also recommend the Lumen frame if you live in any city! It's really bad a** to have your bike light up at night when headlights hit it and as a safety feature, should be mandatory on every bike built. Yet, it seems that you can only get this from Mission Bicycle.

They also give you a free tune up after a couple months of riding and are very quick at making any adjustment you'd like. Now that they made it exactly how I want it, I want to learn more about bikes to make all future repairs myself. I'm sure they'll be happy to help me when I screw up.

Staff is friendly, I keep going back to look at other bikes just because and they have made me fall in love with an inanimate object. Treat yo self and get a bike from here!
