Recycled Cycles & Service

I had been searching for a good, solid bike without dropping a lot of money for quite some time. Between the crapshoot of Craigslist and not much luck at bicycle shops, I stumbled upon
which is run by Paul.
I called Paul and set up an appointment to see a few of the bikes listed on his website. When I met Paul to see the bikes, I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional person. Paul gave me a quick overview of the bikes I inquired about, measured me for fit and then asked a few simple questions to determine which one would suit my exercise and usage goals best. The price you see on the website gets you a solid, name-​brand (no department store) bike refurbished with any lacking parts. He will also add any desired upgrades for a very fair price.
As a person who wants to get into biking, I could not have been more pleased. Paul has acquired a lifetime customer.

Paul is an amazing business man and one of the nicest and most honest bike repair specialists I have ever met. I had some single speed/​fixed gear parts lying around and wanted to have Paul build my wife a new commuter bike for Valentines Day (2014). He had a frame that worked for our components so we purchased it. He took everything and made a great looking and smooth riding single speed bike. The best part of the experience was a few follow up trips to get it dialed-​in. No extra charges were unloaded on us for his services. We live in U City and love that he is so close to us! I now plan on making Paul my go-​to technician for our road and mountain bike tune-​ups and service. As everyone else has already said, he will not talk down to you; on the contrary, he wants to give you information and lets you know about intricate details about your bike and its repairs. If you want a great experience on bike sales or repairs, you better call Paul!

I bought an old bike off of craigslists and it was one that had been previously serviced by Paul so I figured I would get some things I needed updated on it done by him. What a great experience, Paul is honest and knows his stuff. As mentioned in Vik’s review, he has a 90-​day warranty on his repairs and sales which is awesome, especially for older bikes.
He gave me a good history of my bike and keeps great service records too. If you are looking for a bike or are looking to have a bike serviced, you better call Paul.

Looking for a bike but don’t want to spend too much? Paul at Recycled Cycles might have what you need.
Buying a bike from Paul was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable but doesn’t talk down to you. Nor does he push a hard sell, or try to hype up any of his bikes. He comes across as a honest dude. He buys bikes, fixes them up so they are ready to ride, and resells them. The best part — he offers a 90-​day warranty on any bike he sells. Try getting that on Craigslist…
Here’s how it works. Go to his website and check out his selection. If you see something you like, call him and arrange a time to check out the bike at his UCity home. If you decide you want the bike, you put down a non-​refundable 30% deposit on it. After you do this, Paul will spend a couple days getting the bike all tuned up and ready to ride. Then you go back, pay the remaining amount, and take your new used bike. He is happy to install extras like a water-​bottle holder or a kickstand for a small fee.
I would recommend checking the site often, because his bikes go QUICK (especially the hybrids).
He takes credit cards, but I would recommened paying with a check (w/​local address) to avoid a surcharge. Paul also does repairs, and he says that he often works on bikes that bike shops have refused.
I picked up a nice hybrid bike for $ 280+tax and I’m enjoying it.

I needed a reliable bicycle repair specialist for a tune up. I’m a casual cyclist but love my vintage 1972 Motobecane and was fearful of taking the ancient 10-​speed to a high-​end bike shop. A&M never answered the phone, and South City cyclery was not familiar with my bike model. So when a good friend and avid cyclist gave me Paul’s number at Recycled Cycles I gave him a call. We set up an appointment to drop off my bike .
When I visited with Paul, he knew more about my bike than I ever imagined. He looked it over, and recommended a number of improvements if I wanted my bike to be more ‘race worthy’. I only ride it recreationally so took him up on the offer of new tires and brake pads. A little over a week later it was ready and got my first good ride in yesterday.
I highly recommend Recycled Cycles for both service and sales of older bikes. Paul has the setup and knowledge to tackle just about anything. He works out of his house so service is by appointment only.
