Brown Cycles

I already owned a couple of bikes when I moved to GJ last summer. I’ve taken my bike there for work many times. Every time the work was done earlier than promised, at a very reasonable price, and with excellent results. Plus, the folks there are very friendly, like if it was your brother’s shop. I’ve recommended Brown Cycles to my friends, family, and newbies to town. If I need my bike worked on, or want a new one, Brown’s is where I’m going!
PS: Looks like all the reviews are 5 stars, as well it should be. How does Google get 4.8 out of all 5 stars??? If there was a 6 star, Brown’s deserves it! Not only are they an awesome bike shop, but they are also very involved with the community and do their part to help make GJ a great place to live!

Quality. Customer. Service. I have been in many shops, most are unremarkable or terrible. Chris and his team are happy, easy to talk to and just get it. I rented a long travel bike from them for the day and it was in perfect mechanical order, which is often not the case with rentals in my experience. While there Chris noticed a rear pivot on my short travel race bike was loose and repaired it while I was out riding (unprovoked and after asking if he could). That’s just above and beyond! Thanks Chris, I’ll be back.

I’m visiting town and just had my road bike stolen (Specialized Tarmac Comp with Ultegra components). I walked into Brown’s the same day and got to talking with Chris and another customer about it.
Both Chris and the other customer were extremely sympathetic and took the time to listen to what happened and offer suggestions on how I might get the bike back. The other customer happened to be retired law enforcement and gave me tips on working with the police on the case.
Chris then took the time to introduce me to the mechanic and he too had some good suggestions and encouragement. We talked about cycling for a while and some of the big races that had come through the area over the years. I mentioned to Chris I was disappointed I couldn’t get to ride the famous Monument loop and he offered to lend me a road bike my size on the spot. He gave me a bottle of water to go and overall I left feeling better.
Thanks Chris!

We went to Grand Junction on the train from Denver for a little work and a little play but not to buy a bike. We were staying in the downtown area and we walked the shops and wondered in to Brown Cycles. I had been in the market for a road bike to purchase to celebrate my one year anniversary of having both my knees replaced but really didn’t want to purchase from a shop so far away from me.
We were approached by Jade who was very willing to listen what I was looking for as a novice biker but looking for a good bike that I could get my knees back in shape with. We never felt under pressure and she gave me a number of options. We told her we would return the next day to discuss further. We did return and Jade remembered who we were and asked if I wanted to ride the bike for the afternoon and give it a test ride. I agreed and they also gave my wife a bike to ride so we could ride together.
I loved the bike and purchased it. I got a fitting and at one point talked with about every employee in the shop and got the same fantastic service from each one. They boxed the bike up for the train ride home and Chris, the owner, delivered it to the train station the next morning for the trip home.
I did have one concern with the bike when I got home and Chris made sure I was taken care of completely here in Denver with a Bianchi dealer.
I’m a non local of Grand Junction who now calls Brown Cycles my bike shop.

Highly Recommended. Owner/​Operator Chris Brown went beyond the call of duty. (he even gave me his cell phone to make sure things went smooth for pickup after my flight in from Fort Lauderdale.) Very helpful. My family rented 2 mountain bikes. high quality equipment. price was good. We had a blast. BC staff was courteous and knowledgable. I would def use them again. Thanks Chris.

As a novice, I had a great experience at Browns. They were super helpful, patient, and accommodating. They have a great selection and their consignment section is also great. I would highly recommend them to everybody, local or non.

First time in Grand Junction and I broke a rear axel. The team at Brown’s did everything they could to get it fixed including letting me use one of there bikes to go to a competitors shop to see if they had the parts. I got it fixed and am rolling again. Thanks for the great customer service.

I’m a road biker and I won’t bring my bike anywhere else in Grand Junction.
–Friendly competent mechanics.
–Large selection of accessories.
–Plenty of new and used bikes for sale.

I have rented mountain bikes from Brown Cycles twice and they were extremely helpful. I’m relatively new to the mountain biking scene, but they gave me what I needed and were great to work with. I would definitely recommend them for any of your rental needs. We rented 29″ bikes which were great to ride on the trails at 18-​Road and at Loma. In fact we rented 2 weekends in a row.

Being a cyclist means you keep a mental log of where’s good and where to avoid. But when you’re a traveling cyclist visiting shoppes for the sake of curiosity, how do you know who’s trustworthy? In part, you need to rely on the staff you give you words of advice, smiles, good nature, and all-​around pleasant experience. Brown Cycles gave this couple from Denver an experience to remember.
Not only did the mrs find a superb mountain bike in the consignment area, but I found something ridiculous for my collection. What we particularly enjoyed was how easy-​going the staff was (i.e. no sales pressure, just helpful information) and their desire to make us happy. Well, we sure did leave happy with our new toys.
Point is: bikes shoppes are dime a dozen in Colorado, but Brown Cycles is something special and Grand Junction should be thrilled to have them aboard.

Great bike shop in a wonderful downtown location. The employees are helpful and friendly. There is a great selection of bikes for sale, and a decent selection of rental bikes– mostly mountain bikes of course. The only thing that would make this bike shop better would be a better and more affordable selection of road bike rentals.

I bought a used mountain bike here for my son and they did a great job of updating with state of the art components and goats head resistant tires. The expanded shop is pretty impressive. Turnaround is fast on repairs.

I prefer to use Brown Cycles. I like it because the owner is usually always there. Prices are fair, and product mix is good. Keep up the great work.

All around some pretty nice guys and gals. For small items I usually just go to whatever shop is closest at the time (I’m a wandering cyclist: why get a roof rack when you could just ride your bike there?), but when I have questions, or when I need something big I usually go here. The owner is very nice, knows his stuff, and has a good sense of humor. Their head mechanic, Woody, is very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions (even if I haven’t bought anything). I’m not sure if he works there anymore (I haven’t seen him in a very long time), but Marty was also pretty cool and helpful.
I think the main reason why these guys are my favorite shop is that they’ve never ragged on my ride. When I first started really getting into cycling, I had a cheap department store bike. When I would bring it in with problems, or even questions about how to make it a better bike, they didn’t just tell me it was impossible/​not worth it and try to upsell me to one of their own bikes. They actually gave me advice on how to make this cheap bike into a reliable ride, and thanks to their help, that bike has traveled a few thousand miles (much further than the average cheap bike ever goes). It isn’t my only bike anymore (and certainly not my best one), but I don’t take insults to it lightly! Getting it to this point took some work and some learning, and Brown’s was always willing to show me how to do various repairs and parts installations.
And therein lies their strength. There is no pretentious, holier-​than-​thou attitude that is prevalent in the cycling community at large. They just want to help folks enjoy cycling (and make a living while they are at it).
My only complaint is that ordering parts in can sometimes take a week or more (I want it nowwww), and I often have to have parts ordered in due to the weird assortment of bikes I ride (for clarification, most of the other shops in town don’t have what I need in stock either… the joys of having weird bikes).

I had my bike stolen right before the summer got started, so I was in search for some new wheels, that weren’t too expensive. This bike shop has a nice selection of bikes, new, and especially on consignment (in the back). The guy who assisted me was super courteous, well informed about all things bike, and very helpful with contacting the person who was selling the bike I wanted. I ended up getting a screaming deal on a perfect new-​used mtn bike in great condition. They even did a brief check up/​tune before I was out the door. I am very happy with their service, and not to mention the convenient location. Hands down they have the best used bike selection.
Also: be on the look out for their Bike Lock-​up stations all around town!
