You should be!  Looking for a Riv friendly shop for tuneups, parts, etc. in the East Bay proper. Oakland, Berkeley.  Not Walnut Creek.

Missing Link on Shattuck has been good in my experience. 

Tip Top on Telegraph in Oakland has been good for friends - I have never had a repair done there.

There's a guy who works at Performance on University in Berkeley who is very Riv-friendly. He liked my Atlantis a lot, and I think he used to have one of his own. He works in the service department of the store.

I can't remember his name, but he has a beard and I believe he used to work back at Harris Cyclery. Even though it is a Performance shop, I figure any mechanic who can appreciate an Atlantis is worth going to.

The proprietor at Lakeview Bicycles at 622 Grand Ave (by the lake), Charlie Cho, has much knowledge and experience with Rivish, iBOBish bikes. He owns a Kogswell himself and sells many nitto and VO parts. I have had him done work and build wheels for me. Definitely would recommend the shop.

best,

Franklyn

A reasonably frequent poster on this board is a mechanic at Blue Heron Bikes in Berkeley.  It's a brand new shop.

Jitensha Studio on Bancroft in Berkeley has lots of nice bits and bikes though I doubt they'd happily perform routine bike shop work on other than their own bikes. I could be wrong.

The newish shop "the spoke" on telegraph does great work. They took over "the bent spoke" and have improved the service even more than the name. Cooperatively owned and operated, very nice guys.

You can't do much better than Stone's on Santa Clara Ave. in Alameda.  Been there since 1943, exclusively steel bikes- Waterford, Gunnar,  Bob Jackson, and Mercian to name a few- extremely knowledgeable and competent mechanic work and worth a visit just to peruse the vintage stuff up in the racks.  Dennis has helped/ coached me on many a build.  Highest recommendation.
