    Do well.

    Mondo

    No wonder I keep seeing your ugly mug with greater frequency these days...marketing the new business.

    Do well on your new endeavour (luck has very little to do with these things).

    The lil' pinnerz were giving a huge shout out to you the other day.

    Just took 4 of my bikes in to Mondo last night. Met me after hours to accommodate my work schedule and giving me 1 day turn around on the bikes I need right away!

    Known Mondo for years and he's always been a straight-up honest guy--even when he was doing sales ;)

    Mondo worked at various companies in the biking industry so he's got inside track to certain manufacturers and suppliers.

    Mondo's rates are very reasonable and he'll tell you what's unnecessary and fluff to save you money. You won't regret it if you go to him.

    Mondo is the man. I've had him work on my bike twice now. the first time He picked my bike up at my house and dropped it off same day. Second time he met me at my house and did some repairs/adjustments on the spot so I was ready to ride that afternoon. How's that for service! Forget 1 week turn around times.
    Rates are very reasonable, but more importantly it keeps me churning the pedals which is priceless:)

    so Mondo is not a "fluffer". i know he was a man of many talents but want sure that was on his resume ;)

    j/k have yet to hit Mondo up under PBR (just timing) but have known him for a few years now starting at the Path.

    Great guy, excellent mech, very fair, hella good rider and most important fun drinking buddy.

    M - again best of luck in your new gig

    A+ service. I really appreciated the pickup and delivery service. The work was done fast, done well, and fairly priced. I recommend Mondo.

    umm really?



    scroll up and read the conversation where mondo states email would be best for price quotes ect. . .

    and if you dont like what you hear from him, this thread is the wrong place to ask others for work being done...

    Cool, sounds like a place I can trust with my bike. Like the reviews, may hear from me once I get all my parts together!

    What about people who don't live in OC, can one drop off a bike and stick around? I'd hate to drive from LA to Anaheim then back to LA and back again to Anaheim to pick up the bike once it's done.

    Congrats!

    Just want to share my experience with PBR...

    I was looking for a shop to transition parts onto a new frame I purchased. Saw Mondo's post and Facebook and after e-mailing him to get a sense of his work ethic and philosophy, decided to give him a try. He was pro-active in communicating before, during and after...that was a plus. I opted for his delivery service and he picked up and dropped off during the window of time we agreed on...again, that was another plus.

    His prices were very competitive and when you consider his optional pick-up/delivery service, the convenience factor makes it a no-brainer. Will go to him in the future from now on.

    Hey, Mondo. Nice to meet you and do business with you...will see you in a couple mos. to get my free follow-up re-dial and wheel true. Thanks!
