Title: Where can I get work done on Lightning P38
Post by Dale on Apr 15^th, 2013, 9:27am

Hello everyone,
I purchased a Lightning P38 from Easy Street Recumbents in Austin. I live in the Dallas area. The P38 needs a "tune up," but I don't want to haul it all the way to Austin. Do you know of a shop in the DFW area that has experience servicing P38's?
Thanks,
Dale

BikeMart in Richardson used to sell Lightnings. I've had good service from them, but I have heard some complaints.

I use Bonzai Cycle Werx in north Fort Worth for work on my lightning bikes. They are not a bent dealer but are outstanding mechanics and I have total confidence in these guys. I have used them when i was wrong-right and continue with my P-38 and Phantom. Brian owns the place and does the lions share of the work, small independent owned shop where you get quality service at a fair price. I keep trying to convince him to sell bents but haven't had any luck yet, he really doesn't have the floor space YET.

Take a trip south to John's Bicycles in Lancaster... he knows his stuff, and is a RANS dealer as well.

RBM is still the Lightning dealer for North Texas, although they haven't had any on the floor in a while.

I have to agree with Paul. I think John's shop in Lancaster is an excellent choice for quality work. He is definitely worth checking out.
