Cigi Bicycle Shop

very bad customer service & expensive. They were charging me 45 dollars for a rear derailleur & I found the exact same one on amazon for 20 dollars. The owner was very blunt on the phone & person & made me not want to go there ever again.

CiGi is a great PAIR of bike shops. the one in Corona and the one in Jackson Heights.

I read some of these reviews and I revel at how closed minded and self centered people are.

Dana, if you want to gripe about the cost of ACTUAL SERVICES, blame the area you've lived in your entire life. If you have lived there then you know JH is driving up the cost of living and doing business there. Sorry you expect the people who work for a living to suspend capitalism for you because you breathe the same air. You must be a great customer to have at the local supermarket. "You know, I live here all my life and youwould think they can give me some food for free, hmm, maybe another market". Boo hoo you didnt get something cheap when you wanted it to get money for yourself.

Karen- Listen to your wise ole' mother next time and let's hope the stock room clerks do the job as well as the people in a REAL bike shop. I'll see you end over in the middle of traffic because your wheel fell off at 25 mph. Karen, learn to change a tire yourself, you call yourself a biker? You SHOULD pay that much. It's the "you should know how to do this sh*t" tax that got you.

People... There's another bike shop on 37th ave, its down the ways a bit by the barber shop if you go towards Junction Blvd. Don't peddle too fast or you seriously might miss it. It's a hole in the wall. I only know it because I needed brake pads and CiGi was closed on a holiday. Thing is this, go there and you'll see the difference. I'm not saying they're bad- they're cool. But CiGi is a legit Bike Shop. It's the difference between going to a butcher or the supermarket for meat. if you want any old bike, go to Sports Authority, Models or K-Mart and get an assembly line heavy steel POS. If you want a quality bike from people who can tell you WHY it's a good bike, then get your $600 bucks out to start, yes, thats where you start, and go to a Bike Shop.

If the people at CiGi JH don't help you well enough, pick up the phone and get the owner of both shops on the line, he's usually in the Corona shop. He'll break it down to you like no one else, and he's the fairest man in the world when it comes to prices. if you feel you're being price gauged, call him and confirm.

You want to live in a neighborhood thats being gentrified out from under the REAL people who have been there for ever? A neighborhood that's being torn to shreds by landlords who want to have all their buildings declared historic, then you're gonna get charged for stuff. Enjoy it.

I have lived in this area my entire life and this bike shop usually has great stuff but i always knew it was very expensive. I got into an accident and i took my bike there to have an estimate done on the damage for the insurance company and they wanted $80 for that. I could understand paying $80 for some actual work done or some parts but $80 just to tell me how much its gonna cost is crazy. Good selection of bikes, horrible customer service, especially since i was a repeat customer
