i recently purchased a cervélo r5 from mike at brooklyn carbon and the experience was 10/10. mike is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about both the bikes he sells and the people riding them. he took the time to give me a complete, detailed rundown of the bike and patiently answered every technical question i had.
what really set the experience apart was his genuine nature and flexibility. he was extremely understanding of my banking limits and helped me navigate a multi-step payment process without any pressure. to top it off, he even dropped the bike off at my place, which was a total logistical life saver. if you’re looking for a high-end bike in nyc and want to buy from someone honest and passionate, mike is your guy. i couldn’t be happier with the new ride!
I recently purchased a Trek Emonda SL6 from Mike. I was new to triathalons and was in need of help finding my first bike. Mike took an intro call with me and gave me a thorough rundown of biking 101. He then listened to me explain my situation and gave me some research recommendations, then met me and let me try out a few bikes he picked out for me. He made sure I was aware of all the trade offs of each and helped me make the best decision based on my preference/needs. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and kind. Would recommend buying through him for any carbon bike needs you have.
Bike is in fantastic condition and purchased at a steal price!
Found Mike online and texted him about an endurance road bike. He was responsive, asked the right questions, and quickly narrowed it down to the right bike for my needs.
It was raining the day we met, so Mike took me to the covered IKEA parking lot to test ride - great problem-solving! He walked me through everything in detail. Really patient and thorough, especially for someone with limited road bike experience. Never felt rushed or pressured.
Ended up buying the bike at a fair price. It’s in excellent shape mechanically and cosmetically, exactly as described. Mike is the real deal - knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely cares about getting you on the right bike. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality used carbon in NYC.
Best place to buy a bike in nyc. I went to a ton of shops that just started giving me prices. The owner Misha spent over an hour on the phone explaining every component of a bike in detail. He made the buying process very easy and made sure the bike was a great fit. He also gave a full tutorial into maintenance for the bike. Highly recommend.
This service is 100% amazing. Give Mike a call, tell him what you are interested in, and he will set up a time for you to test out bikes for hours and for free. If you find something you like, the prices are incredibly reasonable and you have a 6 months trade in-option.
It was such a blessing when I found BCB. I spent weeks traveling to bike shops who wanted to oversell me bikes I didn't really want. I knew I wanted a a Carbon-Fibre road bike, and I knew I wanted something extremely nice and affordable. This is the best place to purchase such a bike. Even cooler, Mike was extremely available, personable, and threw in some free accessories to help me get my kit starter.
I've put at least 2,000 miles on my bike in the first year. Thank you BCB!
