Frank’s Cyclery

Frank’s Cyclery is a bike shop on Leesville Road in Raleigh, and it is built around the repair stand. The shop calls itself a true mechanic’s shop, and repair, not sales, is the focal point of the business.

Frank caught the cycling bug as a young child, and this is where that turned into a working trade. Riders across the Triangle bring him bikes that need fixing, and they get a shop where the mechanic is also the owner. That was the idea from the start.
