Definitely Pro T Cycles in Klerksdorp. Leon Viljoen goes the extra two miles to make his customers happy! I have known Leon since 2005 when he started servicing my bicycle becuase the LBS that I bought it from closed. He has always demonstrated the utmost honesty and integrity in his dealings and does not follow the “quick buck” route. His advise as a cyclist has always been spot-on and even though I live in Gauteng, I take my bike to him for services. My bike has not required any major repairs because when he services the bike he identifies components that may fail in 3 to 6 months time and let’s me decide if I want it changed. Since I have been delaing with Leon i have bought my son’s bike from him and a lot of kit and accessories and I am still very happy with all of my purchases! When dealing with him I never get that ripped off feeling.
With his coaching and guidance Leon has made me get more enjoy from cycling.
