Absolute Bikes’ employees are not in commission so they align you to the bike that best suits your riding. They took their time answering all my questions, setting up the bike, and were generally just awesome.
I truly wish I remembered the two gents that took care of me. They were great!
Absolute always has fast, professional service at a reasonable price. I live in NC and come to Salida once a year for biking with some friends. I always take my bikes to Absolute for service because it is so much better and faster than I can get at home.
My wife, Katie, was interested in purchasing an e-bike for use on our ranch property North of Buena Vista and along the Arkansas River. Our private road here, which she would like to cycle, is gravel and washboard, and Mike pointed out that the Townie she liked would not be suitable for that type of road surface, and that a "mountain bike" would be much more suitable and safer. Unfortunately, at 85 years young, Katie was not ready for a new and more complex bicycle, and although she was game to try it, the dropper post was unfamiliar and led to her crashing on the pavement. Mike was great in helping her up and making sure there were no serious injuries, which there were not. So, she will continue to cycle in our Arizona neighborhood on her beloved yellow Trek and spend Colorado summers riding her horse.
While there, Shawn was a great help to me with a fitting to my Specialized Levo SL Comp Carbon which I never had received since purchasing it in Fountain Hills, AZ. two years ago. As a consequence, I purchased a new and more suitable saddle and met Cody who inspected my bike with 4000 miles on it, and I will return for a full tune-up prior to returning to Arizona this fall. Absolute Bikes is the BEST cycle shop I have ever visited, and I look forward to a long relationship.
Thanks to All,

Called them to ask for a short-notice appointment, and they squeezed me in, turned the bike around in an hour or so, and fixed the issues at a very reasonable fee. Great place, great team!
Tyler, Marcel and the entire team are always top notch and Im so grateful for all you guys do for me!! class acts and I regularly tell anyone going to Salida that Absolute is a must do on they agenda
Staff were all super helpful and nice. Service dept was on top of their game and helped a brother out with some work. I wish I had this shop in my hometown.
Salesman helped me select handlebar tape for my (vintage!) road bike. The service tech person beautifully installed the handle bar tape. It looks like a new bike. Plus it was done promptly! Thanks you!
Ben is an outstanding mechanic. Not only the ability to diagnose and suggest repairs, but gives you confident advice on what to fix and what to forego on an older bike.
