Super nice guys. They are based in the northern arts warehouse district now, but I still swung by their place and they were happy to let me try out their bikes and get me fit with the right one. Excellent service, I will be buying all my future parts from them. I'm currently riding their single speed stovepipe bike and I love it more then words can explain.

Talk about an amazing bike that's customized in every way. Can't wait to pick mine up!

My friend wanted to look at multi speed bikes and I had heard of Handsome so we wanted to check them out. When we got there my friend took out one of the Devils for a ride. While I was waiting around I decided to take a Fredward out for a spin. I could tell straight away that how well the Fredward was put together and how much better it was then my make shift Schwinn. I ended up buying a Fredward and my friend ended up with a Devil. No regrets. Now I am saving for a mulitspeed Devil.

1. Practical. 2. Beautiful. 3. Crankset made squeaky sound from day one. After 2 months of use it is smooth so it may be machine was flexing up. 4. Nice relaxed geometry. 5. Very stable. Feels like Harley Davidson of cycles. 6. Would love to see the wheels to have nut and bold rather than quick release to go with overall theme of the bike.

I wandered in to Handsome Cycles a month or so ago, having overhead people talking about them at the ArtCrank poster show. I was bike-shopping for the first time in six or seven years, and I'd considered mass-market bikes like I'd purchased in the past, but I wanted something I'd really feel was worth an upgrade from my old hand-me-down. A fellow named Jesse was behind the counter. (One of the owners, though I didn't know at the time. I'm entirely unaffiliated in any way except as a happy customer.) I struck up a conversation with him, and as my boyfriend shopped for cycling-friendly jeans, Jesse listened patiently for at least 30min while I talked through my needs and anxieties about buying a new bike. He was so patient and helpful, and never once tried to "sell" me on anything - just offered ideas and feedback based on my needs and riding style. He also gave me frank tips about where I could cut costs without sacrificing anything that was important to me. I cycle as my primary form of transportation, but I average about 10-12mph and have no desire to "race" or look like Lance Armstrong. I like sitting up, not leaning over, and find zillions of gears perplexing. You would think that I would be uncomfortable buying a custom bike, but instead Jesse made me feel more confident and comfortable than I've ever felt in a bike shop where I'm usually waiting for my boyfriend to stop talking about derailleurs with the staff. The She Devil frames were still on a cargo ship, but Jesse offered to build up the floor model for me if I needed it immediately! I declined since it was cold and rainy, and plus, other customers would want to see that beautiful bike. He placed the order for me without even requiring money down, as apparently it would be no problem to sell it if I'd backed out. (Oh, and these bikes are reasonable in price compared to other bikes of the same build quality. And in my opinion are much, much more handsome!) A few weeks later, my bike came, and Jesse was patient with me changing my mind about seat, handlebars, etc. (The stock seat is actually awesome!) He carefully adjusted the grips to my specific sitting style and put in the anti-theft skewers I got as a special order. (Not owning a car makes quick-release pretty pointless.) I took my bike out and put over ten miles on it that night, running errands and going out to dinner. New Bike Day is the best day! Jesse had mentioned that after riding it a bit, I should bring it in for an adjustment. I noticed a brake pad rubbing on the tire about three weeks after purchase, and stopped by the shop. The other owner Ben was there, and in a matter of minutes he aligned my wheel and explained the spokes being put together by machine or whatever does require some human intervention after a short breaking-in period. He was also charming and helpful, and the tune-up was free! Since the weather got nice, I've been riding my She Devil every day, including one 30-mile day to a family event out in the 'burbs, and I've been keeping up with the boy on his Surly Crosscheck. So, these are speedy bikes! This is the longest review in the history of ever, but I want to help anyone else who's like me and feels intimidated by not being the most steeped in the Local Bike Scene. You, too, can get an awesome bike that's perfect for you, feel like you're totally making the right decision, feel supported along the way, and leave with the heady joy of New Bike Day. :)
