SHIPPING
We strive to offer you fair shipping prices on your order. If you are ordering a large number of items, contact us and we may be able to offer you a better shipping rate.

We are proud to offer FREE SHIPPING on orders within the USA over $150 (Excluding complete bikes, frames, wheels, and mountain bike forks)
Deals, Discounts, and Group Buys!
That's what we're all here for right? As with most things in life; the more you buy, the more you SAVE! If you are interested in numerous items, contact us and see what kind of deal we can make! The possibility of group buys is wide open. If you have a cycling club or team that needs a bunch of cool parts, feel free to combine up and ask for a bulk discount.
LOCAL PICKUP ORDERS
Online orders placed as local pickup will be ready after 2:00 pm the following business day. We are happy to accommodate quicker pickup times if you would kindly email or call us prior to picking it up. Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders need to be picked up within 10 days or a 10% restocking fee will be charged. Items not picked up within 45 days will put back on sale, and a refund will not be given.
IN-STORE SALES
If you are near Portland Oregon, call/email to set an appointment to dig through my parts! You'll get first shot at the vast amount of product I have that has not been listed on the website yet. I'm in inner SE PDX, Sunnyside neighborhood. Remember, by appointment only!
INFORMATION SECURITY
New merchandise may be returned within 30 days. If the merchandise has been opened or shows signs of being installed or used, a 30% restocking fee will be charged. New merchandise is defined as any product listed as "New" or "New in Box (NIB)".
Merchandise will be sold as-is. Please understand that these parts have been used, and while they cannot be guaranteed or warrantied we will do our best to work something out with you. Each part is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and tested (when possible) by our professional bike mechanics, so the risk of a defective product is significantly lower than on Ebay, Craigslist, or other private party classifieds. Shipping costs will not be refunded, nor will return shipping costs be paid in these cases.
*Used cassettes & chainrings are sold as-is, and returns will not be accepted due to them skipping with your drivetrain. We cannot reasonably test these to ensure they will work with your old or even new drivetrain parts. We do our best to examine the parts to ensure an accurate description of the condition.
In the event of an obvious mistake in a listing, or we send you the wrong part, we will refund the original price and original shipping charge. We will also pay return shipping, up to the amount of the original shipping charge. These are rare occurrences, but we don't want you to pay for our mistakes!
Please contact us before sending an item back. Returns must have a return authorization number clearly marked on the outside of the package or the item will be refused. A return authorization number can be obtained by phone or email.
