Rex Cycles

Being a local merchant, I sure love keeping business in the community and here is why. Very professional set up, high quality merchandise. For-​thought for the customers needs… I have had custom built bikes for me in the past, ready for the local option.

Only place downtown that had the right parts I needed for my fixed gear. Staff is VERY knowledgable, fast service, waaayyyy better than all these corporate shops like Performance and Mikes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop

Rex bicycles certainly are beautiful and look like they are very comfortable and efficient. I brought an older Rivendell that had a flaw on the top tube from a mysterious episode while leaning against a wall. This small dent eventually turned into a crack half way around the top tube. This had happened some time ago and all my attempts to get it fixed seemed difficult and expensive. I called Rivendell to see if maybe they could help me with my problem, they recommended Rex Cycles. I drove from San Francisco to Sacramento where I met Steve who was most accommodating. I left the bike with the understanding it would take a month to get fixed. I received a call from Rex Cycles in two weeks saying it was already done and I could pick it up anytime! I drove back to Sacramento the next day to get the bike. The small crack in the top tube was welded with obvious expertise and care. I immediately took the bike outside and rode it around the parking lot. I couldn’t believe I was on this bike again. It felt better then ever and it felt like an old friend returned home. I had used this bike on my last AIDS ride many years back. Many of my friends who benefitted from the rides proceeds have passed on and left for other planets. Having my bike back was like having a small piece of them back in my life. As any bike person will tell you a bike is more then metal and rubber it carries a history of a persons progress with it. I can’t thank Rex Cycles enough for what a great job they did. They were efficient, friendly, easy to talk to, and all for a great price. Don’t hesitate for one second to have them build and or service your bike.

Steve and Doug are great! I had Steve fit me correctly on an old Litespeed, made by Lynskey. The fit is so much better now, that I not only get more power and comfort, I don’t have any lower back aches from long steep rides. And the new Ritchey WCS handlebar Steve suggested is absolutely perfect. I am taking this bike to Death Ride this year. My next frame and wheelset will be from Rex Cycles.

silky smooth fillets… need i say more

Steve Rex builds really amazing frames. The finished product is truly a joy to look at and to ride. Lunatic that I am, I have purchased two bikes from Rex Cycles, and they are both fantastic. If you inspect the frames closely, you can see how much attention to detail there is.
The process begins with a fitting, and the dimensions are all carefully noted. This becomes evident when the finished product is ready, and it just feels right when you ride it. Steve will definitely take the time to make sure everything fits the way it should.
If you need a bike services, even if it’s not a Rex, the staff will always do a proper job of repairing or tuning your bike.
In addition, Rex Cycles has been organizing an annual ride to raise funds for the American River Parkway, which we all know is a pretty amazing resource, and something worth supporting.
Despite the dent in my finances, I have never regretted having these bikes built!

Steve Rex frames are first class work of art.

I needed some mechanical attention to a bike–
another shop installed a headset and I suspected
they had never properly prepared the headtube.
Rex got it sorted and the headset is smooth like
it should be. Anytime someone is taking metal
away from your bike you might as well have
the pros do the job. Good work.

Rex Cycles is a Sacramento gem — a real frame builder right here in town. If you want the ultimate in cycling go down and get fitted for a bike.

Custom bikes that are amazing. The only place to buy a bike. .. if you have a few grand just laying around.
