I am extremely new to this hobby, having not ridden a bike since my teen years. When I walked into Conte's, I'd done a minor (man, you really find out how minor once you start tr...

A store for real Road Warriors!!! 3/28/2011

This is not your kid's Bike Shop - any respectable shop can do a decent repair on a simple bike but it takes real experts to work on the complex components on a quality bike. I needed knowledgeable, expert repair on my Merlin and I got exactly that and much more. This is a store for real Road Warriors!! more

bike is safe and working optimally 3/23/2011

I only trust the team at Conte's to service and repair my bikes. Rather than hire an array of service guys who range from newbie to top notch like you'll find in other shops, everyone seems to be top notch. At other bikes shops we've experienced everything from pedals falling off, to cracked crank bolts to belt derailleurs. Save yourself. Just go to Conte's to be sure that your bike is safe and working optimally. more

best stock 3/21/2011

Last year I wrote a review of Conte's as new customer. Since then, my opinion of them has only gotten better, so I thought I'd write an update. If you are a serious bike rider, this is the ONLY bike shop in N. Virginia to go to. Whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned pro, the staff at Conte's is always friendly and helpful. I have learned from them everything from the benefits of different bikes, metals, tires, and components, to what clothes to wear for every weather condition, and even what type of sunglasses lenses work best in different conditions (thanks Jason!). They have the best stock of clothes and accessories that I have seen in the local area. more

This is a great bike shop 3/17/2011

This is a great bike shop I had a really god experience here they did a great job in helping me look for exactly what I was looking for. more

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! 3/14/2011

Clovis, had an awesome first IRONMAN race in Florida on 11/7/09, mostly because of the great bike fit you made for me!!! I had no foot numbness, no knee pain, and just a bit of saddle soreness, to be expected for an 8 hour ride. In the past it always took me a mile or two of running before my feet felt normal, and this time I hopped off the bike and was able to start running comfortably right away. I also had no back soreness. I wish I'd gone to you first for a fitting when I got the bike two years ago... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! more

thanks again 3/11/2011

"Clovis, It was nice meeting and working with you on Friday. The bike fit experience was great. I rode for a combined 3.5hrs this weekend and my legs felt great. The bike feels like it was built just for me. The pain in my knee is pretty much nonexistent now. I will be back soon with my mountain bike and possibly some minor tweaks to my road bike. Thanks again" more

great help 3/8/2011

As I prepared for a ride from Maine to Florida, it became apparent that better equipment was required. The experts at Conte's Arlington fitted me out with a Cervelo that was tailored to my dimensions, age, and flexibility. Since hot spots in my feet were a continuing problem, they recommended Specialized Sport road shoes with Specialized inserts. They set everything up perfectly. 1,700 miles and 42,000 feet of climbing later I can say the Cervelo was light on the climbs, fast on the flats, and tough enough for some rough roads. The shoes were also great and still comfortable after 22 days on the road. Thanks Conte's for allowing me to ride every mile and climb every foot." more

did a great job 2/25/2011

I have a charity ride for MS this coming weekend, so it was really important I get out and break in the new bike this past weekend. Thanks for your help, and the assistance of everyone on your team (both Danas and Clovis were very helpful; I never got to meet Greg, but I know he stayed late Friday to finish the build). more

good advice 2/24/2011

I don’t know if I could go back to cables for shifting after riding with DI-2. It takes all the trial and error out of shifting so the bike responds to you immediately. I haven’t tried to weigh it yet, but it’s probably close to 8 lbs under my old steel alloy Fuji. The weight difference is especially noticeable on climbs—it just takes less energy to pull up a hill. more

Thank you for meeting me early Saturday 2/22/2011

Thank you for meeting me early Saturday to get my Super Six to me for my Saturday ride. I got in 60 before any rain hit where I was headed west of Leesburg. The bike was great! more

comfortable referring my friends 2/8/2011

I knew I wasn’t going to pay the cheapest price, but felt I was buying an education as well (which Jason gave me up front) along with the follow up maintenance and training advice you guys can offer. At this point, I’m very comfortable referring my friends to you that are serious about cycling. more

geuine interest 1/27/2011

"Clovis appears to take a genuine interest in his customers' needs and works hard to ensure they are satisfied. When dealing with Clovis, I never feel as if he is merely trying to sell me something. Not only is he clearly knowledgeable in his field, but just as important, he appears to have a mature understanding of human nature and how to interact with customers in a way that makes customers feel better about being in a Contes store. I have considerable experience in sales and customer relations, and I would not hesitate to hire Clovis for his interpersonal skills alone. If every staff member at Contes were half as good as Clovis, Contes/Freshbikes would have no problem standing head and shoulders above the competition. " more

impressed 1/26/2011

"I'd like to tell you how impressed I've been with Clovis' professionalism and customer relations skills. Clovis has been working with my son on a bike fit. My son is an aspiring junior racer, and Clovis' skilled analysis of my son's physical characteristics and riding needs has resulted in my son developing a much more efficient and comfortable approach to riding. Clovis has followed up regularly by e-mail to check up on how my son is doing and to determine whether his bike and other equipment need additional tweaking more

I would like to compliment Robert Allison 1/12/2011

I would like to compliment Robert Allison (of Conte's of Virginia Beach Red Mill) and his efforts at Hermitage Elementary Schools Bike Rodeo on Saturday, April 26th. Robert came with a Conte tent, tools, supplies and a winning personality to fix, sell and promote bicycling. He was as much the attraction as the rodeo events. I had 6 dad helper mechanics who volunteered to help fix bikes and their evaluations were that they would work again with Robert and that we need to have the Bike Rodeo again and see it grow each year. I am writing to both of the owners and let you know that we appreciate Conte's bikes and Robert Allison. He was exceptional. more

thank you again 1/11/2011

Thanks to Conte’s Staff and Roberio in the Service Department, for taking care of my defective back rim. I brought the rim in for the replacement of three spokes, but Roberio asked me to bring the whole bike in, so he could inspect the front rim also. He told me that this brand had a problem with defective spokes! He replaced all the spokes in the back rim, so I feel that he and your staff were looking out for my safety and customer satisfaction. This is the second bike that I have purchased from your fine business and hope to do more in the future and I also recommend you too! Thank you again. more

Thanks again 1/5/2011

I just wanted to let you all know that I am so happy I purchased my Cervelo P2C from Conte's. The experience was great. I got a really good price. The fitting was perfect. Your followup has been very reassuring. And, the results speak for themselves. I finished 3rd  in the Clydesdale division at the USAT Regional Club Championship in New Jersey. My one hour bike time was the key to placing in the race. I couldn't have done it without you guys and gals. On to Ironman Florida! Thanks again! more
