Bike Builds:
Brian Tjaden
Senior Mechanic, Bryant Street
Since 2013
Brian has been cycling since the 70’s and has been wrenching for just as long. His hometown in Nebraska was 360 miles away from the nearest bike shop so he dedicated his time to fixing his bikes himself! He’s primarily a roadie, but with his new Ibis Ripmo, we think we’ll be seeing more and more of him on the trail.
His favorite bike is a custom 735 Reynolds lugged steel frame
Commutes on his Bianchi Specialisma Dura-Ace Di2 bike
Favorite riding roads: Trail Ridge Road, CO & Bob Cook Mount Evans hill climb, CO
Specializes in custom bike & wheel builds
Aaron Ofsiany
Bike Shop Manager, Bryant Street
Since 2014
When we need advice on riding, wrenching, or pretty much anything to do with cycling, Aaron is one of the first people we turn to. He has over 32 years of wrenching, 34 years of mountain bike experience, and 25 competitive cycling seasons under his belt. He’s a jack-of-all-trades and clearly, a master of all. His favorite rides are epic sceneries in British Columbia but you’ll definitely catch him flying up and down Highway 1. His favorite part of the job is taking in bicycles that are broken or malfunctioning and restoring them to their former glory.
Raced for the Ibis team from 1995-1997
Commutes on a single-speed Cross bike converted to a 9 speed 1x
Shimano and Campagnolo certified & USACycling licensed race mechanic
Always carries a Ritchey CPR 14 multi tool
Our Bryant St., Berkeley, Campbell, Santa Rosa, San Ramon& Sunnyvale locations offer the following types of bike fitting:
Developed through collaboration by the professional fitters at Sports Basement, this process will determine ideal positioning on your current bike and teach you the basics of proper posture. All aspects of the rider and the bike are taken into account, including fitness level, riding style, goals, and any pre-existing physical limitations. Your bike, your goals, your perfect fit.
A more extensive process, the FIST fit involves creating your ideal fit based on the same principles as the Basic Fit, but utilizes the EXiT Bike and the specific protocols developed for it. Basically, the EXiT bike is a stationary bike that can be adjusted in every conceivable way. It connects you to a power meter and heart rate monitor to observe your performance on the bike, as well as how your performance is affected as adjustments are made. Our Pro Fit is a workout, so make sure you come in with fresh legs!
