  Max and West at Luft treated me and my bike so well today! After a quick phone call, I came in to have my Canyon Aeroad buttoned up and the guys didn't hesitate to jump in and get the bike back on the road. Within seconds of getting the bike on the stand, Max pointed out that my headset washer was installed backwards and took care of it while finishing up the rest of the bike. Max was super kind and gracious in showing me some techniques to wrench on the bike which was super helpful. They both patiently answered all my questions and listened while I rambled about local rides. It's great to see a ride & run shop close by that brings the community together. I'm glad this shop exists! The people, vibes, kit, and service are top notch, I'm really looking forward to coming by the shop often! Keep it up gang - you've got a huge fan.

  Very nice shop, parking always available street-side out front. Max is always really friendly and helpful and gets me back on my way in no time when my bike is facing issues.

  I’m super bummed to write this review because I was genuinely really excited to visit Luft when in LA, and it was the first shop I visited when staying in Venice last week. One would hope that when two people, both strong cyclists, with an interest in smaller, more specialty companies in the cycling industry, enter your shop - you would expect at least one of the staff members to say hello or even acknowledge your existence. Nope. I said hello, looked around the shop for probably 5-10 minutes, said goodbye and thanked the staff when leaving despite not being spoken to once, and nothing I said or did was even remotely acknowledged. I frankly found it embarrassing. The selection of gear, quality of builds and simplicity of the shop are all conducive to Luft being an excellent space. As someone who already owns lots of MAAP & PNS, if you value the hype brands of cycling industry, this is a great shop for you. I simply cannot recommend as the service level was so poor. Maybe shopping online is better. Maybe if you’re their homie they hook it up. I don’t know, and I won’t find out. I am however a service professional, and genuinely don’t care how cool you cats think you are. It’s not cool to have garbage service, ever. It’s pretty much your job(s) to be kind and interact with customers. If the impression you leave your customers with is that you don’t care that they are in your building, they will go elsewhere, trust. As a result - I won’t return to Luft again and will buy my 10k Titanium frameset somewhere that the staff say hello to me when I walk in. As if the bar is that low. Edit: Due to the owners reply and them seeming to show genuine concern for how our experience was, i've changed the rating and will give Luft another shot the next time i'm in LA. I understand how challenging it is to run a business. Hopefully i'll be able to have a difference experience next time around.

  So bummed with my experience at the Luft shop Los Angeles ,located at 19030 Lincoln Blvd . I had an emergency because my tire has a flat ,regular cruiser bike 26 in tires , specifically the tube . Well; the guy who was ‘working ‘ I should said ,trying to work , come to me when I asked if he can help me with my bike . Explaining that was a flat in the tire and I need a tube replacement ,he does not look on my bike or something , he immediately send me to Linus Flagship Store ,the one across the street. He said ‘we don’t have that tube replacement ‘ ,really ?? A bike shop with 4.9 starts doesn’t have a simple 26 inches tube replacement ???? But hey ! He doesn’t want to help me at all. So ,guys don’t waste your time going to this shop ,is very limited in parts and lame service ,almost you’re doing a favor to ask them to do their job. I can recommend you guys a place ;nice ,near and where they don’t are scared to dirty their hands doing the job. It called ‘The bicycle whisper ‘ ,anyways I hope this work for future references and I know nobody will care about my review . Peace !

  I will weigh in as a few others have: WHAT A NICE SHOP… In particular, I recently crashed on my Checkpoint SL7 and broke my carbon bars (so much for “stronger” than steal!). So, time to upgrade the stock isocore pro bar. I had been thinking of getting a flat top bar since I ride more tarmac than gravel. Also thinkin about narrowing the 42s to 40 or 38…but I wasn’t sure on how id feel about goin that narrow. I also just NEED TO RIDE…i thought maybe I could “find” a drop bar to just get back on the road. You know….while I was deciding what bar and then the time to order one. I started on the boardwalk, goin to EVERY bike rental shop there was. I went to them ALL…nada. WT? So…I thought “these RVs I see round usually have bike parts…I stopped at 6 of them…nada. WT?? Ok…I started down Lincoln, couple shops, another 3 RVs…NOPE… And then I stopped here…. I walked in, explained my story, n Max/this shop, “GAVE ME A BAR TO USE UNTIL I GET NEW ONE…”. JUST LIKE THAT. NO PROBLEM… Let me ask you, when was the last time a shop of any kind GAVE YOU something to “use.” It is a FSA bar about $100. I wasn’t buying the bar through them or anything. MAX - and I think he was the bike engineer there. Kind of puts a little faith back in me for the fate of the human species … a little dramatic, but you get the point. If that’s not cool enough, the bar is a 38! Yes! I can now test this size for the bar I’m going to buy. I solved TWO problems at ONE time. Because of THIS STORE….as well as seeing something I hadn’t seen for a long time. Simple GOOD customer service WHERE the customer came first… The store trusted a stranger, that walked in randomly off the street. Wow. After all the stores I had just stopped at for help…THIS BIKE SHOP…. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BIKE SHOP. THEY DON’T KNOW IT BUT THEY’RE GOING TO GET MY BUSINESS AND I USUALLY HAVE A LOT OF IT. To the owner of the store, You have some good people working there. And everyone else… GO HERE.
