Reviews

This review fits into my general small-&-personal-is-better ethos. 

First off, tho, I need to say that I know bikes and biking. My family ran a leading bike wholesaler on the East Coast. And in the mid-70s, I was co-founder of a major & successful bike racing team. I still take a deep pleasure at the smell of a bike store...

Matt, the proprietor is (I think) the only guy you will find working at Red Lantern. Its a very small shop, with an equally small selection of bikes and parts. But everything in the store is a gem. If you want to be dazzled by gobs of amazing bikes, there are other shops that you can indulge. but, If you 'd like to take the time to thoughtfully appreciate a few special bikes, carefully chosen, then Red Lantern is a match.

Also, this is more a place to discuss bikes with the most well-meaning bike junkie you can find. Here, you can discuss what you want (ego) and separate that from what you need (performance). You can leave the shop without buying a thing and feel totally satisfied. Or you can work with Matt to spec a custom ride that you are almost certain to treasure for years to come.

At a typical shop you could walk out with a $4,000 bike that is not at all matched to your needs and only to your spending limit and fad of the day. That's not going to lead to great biking. Before you buy, check out Red Lantern.

A highly custom bike shop - a highly curated selection of high end bikes and equipment.  Matt and his team provide the highest level of personalized service.  And the espresso is appreciated too!

I traveled from Calgary, Canada to ride Levi's Gran Fondo. After a minor mishap, I was left desperately searching for a (apparently very unique) derailleur hanger the day before the ride. Matt went above and beyond typical customer service to help me out and get me back on the road. His laid back personality and eagerness to help represent the greatest virtues of the cycling community. Thank you Matt!!
