We started in a little storefront in 1982 with a stock of 20
fixed-gear bicycles and a tiny, cramped repair shop in the back
room. Today, we have more than 1,200 square feet of showroom floor
and a full-service bicycle garage for all of your tuning and repair
needs, seven days a week!
One of the greatest challenges of our modern interconnected
society is transportation. In a world where digital communication
is prevalent, it might seem tempting to just abandon the idea and
stay home forever, but part of the human condition is to be in
motion. We have a passion for keeping that alive.
In recent years, the popularity of cycling has exploded, with
social rides, cycling clubs, and massive bike-centered events
nation-wide. We are a proud sponsor of Barton's own little slice of
cycle mania and every spring we host the Barton 1000, a breakneck
race through our city's public park system.
We aim to provide our local community with convenient,
affordable access to the highest quality cycling products
available, from professional grade aluminum frames to titanium
wheels and other miscellaneous accessories. We also provide the
tools and services needed to maintain the operation of bicycles and
information and products geared towards improving the level of
safety and stability that a rider can have while in motion,
especially at night, or while traversing rough terrain. Through
community outreach and professional service, we wish to foster a
sense of community between our customers, such that we are more
than just a bike shop; we're a public center for a way of
life.
All of the bicycles that we sell are guaranteed to operate as
intended for no less than 10 years, with proper scheduled
maintenance and no collisions or other intentional or accidental
damage to the frame, wheels, or other moving parts of the bike. We
will service any errors in craftsmanship, and all repaired or
replaced parts are covered by a limited lifetime warranty once all
work has been completed and inspected by one of our friendly
bicycle mechanics.
