Walk around Bend Velo bike shop and you will notice very long knobs sticking up from the forks. Many customers ask "why is this part so long?" The part they are referring to is the steer tube.

So I asked the impossible, and Eric and Chris delivered. All I wanted was an incredible bike from a knowledgeable shop, after all bikes in the country seemed to have been sold out. After over 30 online inquires, Eric replied on a Sunday within minutes of my mail being sent. How he had the bike I was searching for is a story he will have to tell, but he had it. It was fairly priced and when I picked it up Chris made sure I had everything to start riding in minutes. Chris even gave me several great options of where I could find a good meal. Is the bike perfect… yes! Would I drive the 5 hours to

I came across Bend Velo in may 2019. I couldn't be happier with a bike shop. I bought parts from them to custom build a mountain bike/touring bike from scratch. Both Eric, the owner, and Chris, the mechanic spent a LOT of time guiding me, helping me choose the right parts without ever trying to upsell anything, quite the opposite they helped me saving money by explaining how some parts were unnecessary. They did not make a lot of money out of my business, but they always greet me with a smile and a lot of enthusiasm whenever I stepped in. Eric just wants to put people on bikes and make friends

I came across one of the few first 2020 disc truckers left at Velo Bend, purchased it and made my way from Pennsylvania eagerly awaiting. Upon arrival the shop was small but the two employees were more than big enough with energy, super busy, but absolutely willing to take a second and talk or discuss a component. Chris helped me over the phone and the owner helped me in store. Overall, would buy from again and make my way to Bend again. Thanks 🙏🏾

Bend Velo helped me size, fit and build a Surly Troll to fit my needs for bikepacking and international touring. The staff was amazingly knowledgeable, skilled and friendly. They really went out of their way to work with me on a custom build, try out different components and most importantly, they did it all while making me feel valued and heard. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Eric and Chris were enormously helpful in getting me set up with my Surly Krampus. I’m impressed with their follow up after putting me on a waiting list for this super cool bike. They were patient, informative and good humored in answering my many questions about bikes and accessories. I’m impressed with this business and will do business with them in the future.

I had a great experience buying my Surly “Bridge Club” from Eric and Chris. They helped me to customize my bike switching out the chrome components for black ones and they even swapped the stickers making my bike a one of a kind. Outstanding customer service!
I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking to buy bike.

Couldn't recommend this shop more. Eric and Chris have gone above and beyond to help me reach every biking goal I've had. They can answer any question you have, even if it's not Surly. That being said, I've had nothing but amazing experiences with Surly bikes - a name known around the world for its quality. 50 miles from a cell signal or civilization, and I wasn't worried - Bend Velo had me prepared with anything I could possibly need.

This bike shop provided the most enjoyable experience and best mechanical work I've ever seen. Owner Eric Power and mechanic Chris are both very enthusiastic about bikes, and are committed to pairing customers with the best bike fit and feel possible. Mechanical work on both my new bikes and older bikes was WAY above average. Prices, I think, are more than reasonable. They actually worked on one older bike of mine to get it ready for resale, and did not charge for that! I give this bike shop the highest recommendation I can give, and then some.
