Down-to-earth quality expert service Adeley? (Not sure how to spell his name, I think it was the owner) was incredibly helpful. He stayed open FORTY minutes after closing to sell me some much needed parts for my skates. He was super helpful, friendly, and even helped me pump up my bike tire and put the chain back on the derailer. We bullshitted about the in-line skating community, he's a cool dude. I think all these scathing reviews are a product of trust fund babies who are sheltered and over-privileged UC Berkeley students... read more
--== DO NOT GIVE THIS SCOUNDREL A DIME! ==-- DO NOT GIVE THIS SCOUNDREL A DIME! Stay away! He buys and sells stolen bikes. He has been busted in the past. He also sells faulty old Krypto U-locks to unknowing Cal students. I have personally seen the proprietor buy a stolen bike from a man riding back from the Cal campus with two different bikes (that clearly were not his) hawking them to Karim for 40$. To who ever reads this, please tell others to avoid Karim's... Put this despot out of business. Ken
Avoid Karim At All Costs If you're in the market for a used bike, do yourself a favor and go to Bent Spoke or Missing Link. This guy's prices may seem attractive, but the bikes I saw looked pretty messed up. He's just got piles and piles of bikes strewn around and you ask to see something and he says, "How about this bright orange one instead; it's easier to get to." While I was in there, a woman with a kid in a stroller was coming in the door. The guy (Karim?) shouted at the woman that she couldn't bring her stroller in the... read more
A liar and a cheat NEVER go here. He has thousands of bikes that he's not selling and will try to push you on the ones at the door. He showed up late and then even when I helped him unload his inventory, he still felt free to lie to me about the bikes (for example, he tried to tell me that some fat mountain bike tires were "hybrid tires"). I paid him $100 for used wheels and tires and when I came to pick up the bike, the tires were not the tires he said they would be and were fitted so poorly that the reflector was scraping ... read more
