After a long month, we have 27 bikes ready for donation for 27 kids for christmas time . All have been professionally gone through, repaired and restored. Some needed full tear downs that took days, others were in really good shape.. i'd like to thank anyone that donated any kids bikes in usable shape or unusable shape (we can always use parts), a huge thank you to Stan T. for taking the time and re-wrapping the seats that were in rough shape, a big thank you to my parts sup...pliers Ron and John that answered my million and a half phone calls a day, and looked high and low for parts that are very tricky to find, a big thank you to Tyler K for creating, printing and cutting all of the decals, and of course to Tanya for helping prepare, clean, and assemble each and every bike I hope that each and every recipient enjoys their new bike Thank you to everyone that has supported us the last few years, without you, this wouldn't be possible! We look forward to seeing you in the spring! Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday and very merry christmas! -Jeff aka Ness Tee
We have a lot of kids bikes ready for donations for christmas, but here's a couple that were recently completed within the last couple days.. and figured I'd include a couple of before and after pictures. Stay happy and stay safe -Jeff
As most of you know, I buy hundreds, probably thousands of bikes each year to fix, restore and resell as cheap transportation. This year has been one hell of a tough year with shut downs, delays, and shortages on parts, and bikes in general. I don't believe in selling kids bikes, because I believe every kid out there deserves a bike so that they can go out biking with their friends and family, and explore the neighbourhood. I do a lot of paint work and restoration work year... round on vehicles, bikes, anything that gives me interest. I'm usually left with tons of left over paints and parts from other projects, and receive lots of donations of old bikes from folks around the neighbourhood. These are the first of two repainted, of many we'll be donating to various charities this year at christmas time. I'd like to thank everyone that has donated their old bike, time, or even supported us business wise. Without you, this wouldn't be possible! Also would love to thank my good buddy Tyler Korman for making the amazing decals for each and every one of these bikes. If you need any decals made, hit him up!
What a year.. I'm happy that we were able to fix and tune up majority of bikes that came through here for repair this year. Unfortunately, some that were dropped off long long ago, still require parts to be working in top condition. Most of our suppliers are still behind on manufacturing and delivering these parts.. as most of you know, we've encountered a shortage this year on multiple, ordinarily common parts needed for repairs or tune ups (cables, tubes, tires, rims, etc),... due to the pandemic. We appreciate your patience and support during this tough year. There are only a handful of bikes left for repairs here, and I've spoke to most of the customers and have made arrangements for future repairs, when parts become available / storage during winter months. We will no longer be accepting any repairs until Spring of 2021, but will be continually working on and restoring other bikes that will be coming available for sale in spring time as parts come in. Again, we appreciate every bit of support you all have given us this year, thank you and be safe!
It's almost that time of year folks! Spring is coming!! *****TUNE UPS START AT $20**** Whether you have an old bike that's been sitting in the elements for years, or you have a simple fix, we can do it! We will have your bike ready to go at optimum performance and safety. We're not like the big shops that make you wait for days / weeks, and have a super fast turn around time.. usually within a day (for most tune ups).... Basic $20 Tune up includes: -Greasing all bearings -Oil chain -Make sure all parts are torqued (wheels, fork, handlebars, etc) -Adjust all cables (gears and brakes) so that gears shift perfectly and don't skip and brakes work properly -Inflate tires -Full cleaning of bicycle No job too big or small, can even weld broken / split frames, can do full paint work (I use automotive paint, not cheap $5 spray paint), and I have a wide variety of used parts for any age / style of bicycle! Beware of shops who flip your bicycle upside down when tuning derailleurs (gravity will make it tuned upside down but not right side up). I'm located right in the heart of River Park South! Please don't hesitate to send me a message, and follow our page Southside Cycle Works, for the latest deals and shop news!
Recent restoration a few weeks ago.. bike was sitting from the late 90's until it came here. Customer picked colour and we worked within her budget!
It may be raining out, but we still have lots of bikes coming available for sale as parts come in! Every bike sold comes with one year limited warranty on all cables, bearings and chain!
To all of our valued customers, HAPPY CANADA DAY! We will be closed tomorrow (wednesday July 1st) but will be still available for pick ups for customers whose bikes are completed. Have a great day!
Quite the challenging bikes have been coming in lately.. today a good friend of mine dropped off his Cannondale that he was recently involved in a vehicle accident with on Wednesday (he is okay). Normally parts arrive within two days, lately it has been taking up to 3 weeks with parts shortages due to Covid. His front rim and other parts will likely take 3+ weeks to arrive here. We appreciate everyone's patience during this time, and we are working as fast as possible to get everyone's bicycles repaired with the quickest turn around time. Stay safe!!
We will be closed tomorrow (wednesday) from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
We received this bike as a donation today from one of our wonderful customers. It has been fully tuned up and is ready to ride, as always, one year coverage on all cables, bearings, and chain. This bike is mint. 20" Infinity, 6 speed, dual suspension. Like our page, share this post and comment 'shared' and you'll be entered to win Draw will be on thursday at 7 PM and posted live. Best of luck! -Jeff
Was your bicycle stolen and trashed? Have you had parts stolen off of your bike? Give us a call. Lots of used inventory and there is no job too big or small for repair. 204-509-9998
Hello fellow riders! I've been working away from 7 AM to 11 PM on repairs every day of the week due to various other bicycle shops being overloaded. Still holding down a one to three day turn around time. Everyday I get messages from various people looking for bikes for sale, I'm happy to announce that within the next week to two weeks I will have 70+ bikes for sale varying in size from 20" to 29" wheel size. Unfortunately due to covid, our parts have been arriving slowly, but am confident I will have all ready for sale within the next two weeks. All will be sold with one year limited warranty. I will be posting a listing within the next couple of days of everything available, sizes, etc. I thank you for your patience, be safe, and enjoy this weather! Take care! -Jeff
Due to recent delays and constant issues, We will NOT be accepting E transfer as a form of payment.
Just a little side note folks, when you're dropping a bike off on an agreed scheduled time, please call or text me at 204-509-9998.. DO NOT try the gate and walk in, I have guard dogs, alarms, and full security throughout the property. Thanks in advance, and keep riding! -Jeff
I deal with thousands of new and old customers every year.. about 5 years ago I fully restored this bike for a lady and recently it must have been stolen and ditched.. thankfully someone has found it, and I'd love to get it back to the person I built it for. The "distinguishing" features were blacked out, I cant find the owners contact info, but maybe you're on here or are following my page.. if you are please send me a PM, thanks!
Dried out, tired tires? No problem, we've got you covered.. send us a message today!
Even frame repair, we do it all!!! Why pay $80+ dollars for a tune up and wait until July for your bike to even get looked at?! Give us a shout at 204-509-9998 and make your appointment today!
Back open for business! Tune ups are still $20! And still operating at one day turn around time.. all bikes will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized upon return. Call or text 204 509 9998 to book an appointment! Cheers
Unfortunately, right after my last post, I received three e-mails that my primary suppliers of parts (tires, bearings, and cables) have shut down, therefore, I have made the decision to shut down for the time being.. I will post on here once they have re-opened and I have decided it is safe to do so. Thanks for your understanding, everyone stay safe and be well!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Our phone line with Rogers has currently gone down. Apparently from what I've been told is it's a national issue. Texting 204-509-9998 still works (for now) but if any customer needs to get a hold of me, please message on here. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Proud to say we'll be attending this event. We will have a vendor table set up on saturday, please stop by and say hi!
A few more that are also all for sale.. inbox for details..
Been working away at all of these oldies kicking around my shop / storage locker.. I'm hoping to get about 8 new bikes out per day which will all be reasonably priced these are today's picks.. there was 8, but two went before i could even list them! All come with one year warranty on all cables, bearings and chain. More to come tomorrow! Inbox for details / prices!
Inventory may be going down in one storage unit, but that's just because I'm preparing all bikes for back to school / the possible upcoming transit strike. Kids bikes as always start at $19.99 and adult bikes start at $49.99 all have one year limited warranty included. I'm open Tuesday and all next week!
