I was in the market for a new road bike, when a friend suggested I checkout Farina's. I have lived in Belmont for 20 years and only heard of them. I'm not a racer but I ride in the Pan Mass Challenge and Best Buddies rides. To my surprise, they had the Giant bike I wanted and at the best price around. The selection of top brands and a well educated staff made my buying experience great. It turns out that they also support the local community with a . Kid's reading program. Thank you.

A family-run business, and conveniently located, I really wanted to like Farina's. However I've gotten poor service from them. I brought my bike in for an annual tune-up, purely preventative as it was working perfectly as it was. When I got it back, there was a grinding in either the pedals or gears that was very noticeable. I brought it back a few days later and not only couldn't/didn't they fix it, they tried to tell me that it must be something that had been present before I brought it in, not something that happened during the tune-up. They suggested that the pedals were the problem (and that they just HAPPENED to die the day I brought it in) so sold me new pedals; when that didn't fix the problem either they shrugged, didn't offer to refund the money for the pedals or the tune-up, and were unable/unwilling to do anything else to attempt to diagnose the problem. I would highly recommend going to any other repair shop.
