Here is a brief list of some of our most popular services for your Friday:
Service Center Pricing:
Tune-up
Single $90US · Tandem $135US · Triple $190US
If you care enough to send your bike back to the factory for a tune-up, we figure we should pull out all of the stops. We true and dish the wheels, clean the chain completely, inspect all the components and the frame for warranty concerns. Then we adjust your brakes, dérailleurs, hubs, bottom bracket and headset. We'll re-lube the chain and cables, and recommend any replacements. Of course we'll give it a good cleaning. Perfect way to get ready for the next season, epic ride, or big trip.
Overhaul
Single $290 US (add $150 for a complete re-paint) · Tandem $390 (+$255 for a re-paint) · Triple $455 (+$330 a re-paint)
Like a tune-up on steroids (bikes aren't drug tested - we checked). We strip the bike down to the bare frame and clean all the components thoroughly while we true and dish your wheels. Then, after giving the frame a good cleaning, we'll install all the parts back on the frame, and give it the complete tune-up. We also replace grips or handlebar tape, and decals, plus bearings and hardware as needed. There are several things we do on top of this that a standard bike shop would not do such as:
1) Align the frame on alignment table
2) Replace stickers where they are ragged
3) Replace hinges with updated ones if needed
4) Update the frame to the current safety spec at no extra cost
5) Put new bar tape on the handlebars
6) Replace all cables and housing
7) Unpack and re-pack the bike for shipping
An Overhaul is a perfect way to make your bike like new without actually buying a new one!
Since we have your bike completely disassembled, this is the perfect time to re-paint your bike. See the price for re-paint added under overhaul (above).
New Wheel Build 'Labor Price'
$55US for labor - plus parts of your choice.
We hand lace, true, dish and pre-stress your new wheel. Spokes are available in straight gauge, butted and bladed, and nipples are available in brass and alloy - all at your choosing.
Geared Hub Overhaul
$60US for Labor
We will completely disassemble your hub, clean all the parts, replace any parts that are needed, and reassemble it. If your hub is more than a year old, this needs to be done. Overhauling you Sachs or SRAM 3x hub on a regular basis will add years to its life.
Dual Drive Hub Upgrade
$415US for Labor - including parts
We will build a brand new wheel with the SRAM 3-speed internal, 9-speed external Dual Drive hub and install it on your bike with SRAM's unique dual function right shifter (excluding drop bars). The bike will be tuned and ready to go. If frame modifications are necessary to run the cable or if you need additional parts to make it work, there may be an additional cost.
Threaded fork upgrade
$150US (includes parts)
If you have an early Friday with a threadless fork this is a must have. Includes new painted fork and loose bearing headset, but upgrades, like the sealed bearing Chris King, are available.
Ultralight stem upgrade program
$200US
We send you a fit stem that is adjustable in terms of rise and reach. You ride it for up to thirty days, making adjustments until you have it completely dialed in and comfortable. Then stick it in the provided prepaid return shipping box and send it back to us. We'll use it as a template to manufacture a custom made, perfect fitting, ultralight stem that can shave as much as pound off of the weight on your bike and send it back to you.
Add new split handlebars
$50US
Whether you supply them or we do that for you, make any 1"/25.4mm clamp diameter handlebar (sorry - carbon excluded) work with your Bike Friday. We'll remove your old handlebars, split and shim the new handlebars, and install them on the bike with fresh bar tape. Price does not include cost of bars. Be aware that not all bars can be split.
Align Frame
Single $75 US
Tandem $90 US
Triple $120 US
We'll remove the bottom bracket and wheels, stick the bike on the alignment table, and make sure it straight. Then we reassemble it and test ride to confirm handling and stability!
