Blacksmith Cycle

I had a fitting with Brian and it was amazing! I wish I had come sooner. The whole process was seamless and thorough. It feels like I have a whole new bike! Everyone at the shop was super kind and welcoming. The service on my bike was also top notch. Will definitely be coming back!

After hearing about Blacksmith for years, I decided to take my Canyon Aeroad in for a spring tune up. During my consultation Jesse he diagnosed some small issues with chain wear, front disk brake rubbing and a loose headset. I had mentioned a slipping seat post which Jesse promptly diagnosed was from the previous tech using the wrong grease. The team fixed everything, were incredibly professional, had great communication, fair pricing and were easy to work with. I picked the bike up, it was spotless, the new bar tape applied beautifully and my seat returned to the exact height I had it when I dropped it off. The bike rides better than new. All the little things add up to a wonderful experience and I will be directing all my friends to Blacksmith Cycle. Thanks again.

I first heard of Blacksmith Cycle through word of mouth. A good friend and avid cycling junkie told me that there is no other place I should even consider in the city. At the time, I was already engaged in a full on carbon road build at another shop, however, I started doing my research by occasionally going in to Blacksmith for bits and pieces, here and there.

Pretty soon after, I was convinced that I "needed" to build a new bike, but this time, I wanted the Blacksmith experience. Experience - being the operative word. The whole vibe of getting a bike from Blacksmith is very much experiential. The notion of just simply pulling something shiny and expensive off the wall and slapping it together just to get you out the door does not exist there. These guys go to the drawing board right away. They firstly get to know what you're looking for, then educate you, fit you, present you with options and guide you in the right direction and support you through the entire process. Start to finish.

I was dead set on getting a Wilier, and even though it is not a brand that they typically carry, the owner was able to source one for me - so if you have a very specific dream build, they can make it happen.

Overall they focus on the custom, rare and bespoke. No corners cut, no shortcuts taken. After-sale service is amazing too. If you're looking to get anything bike related, I literally cannot recommend an alternative.

It's a small team that does top caliber work under massive demand, so be patient with them. This is what makes Blacksmith a tier above the rest.

Can't say enough about the great service and customer care I received from Blacksmith Cycles! Mike totally looked after me with my online order giving me a great price on my Sram Force axs groupset. I had many questions and changed a few things and he was very patient and helpful with everything. Would give 6 stars if I could! Highly recommend Blacksmith to anyone looking for great prices and service!

This guy kept the shop open an extra half hour to fix my flat I got at the worst possible time. He didn’t have to do that. He also gave me some solid advice on tires, and the price was super reasonable. Count me as a new loyal customer.

Super friendly and Great service. They really put in the effort to get the build just right. Experienced bike fitting, get you really comfortable on the bike.

Blacksmith crew was fantastic to deal with from start to finish on my bike build. Mike hooked me up with some extras which was great. Big thanks to Jose for answering all my questions and putting together the build box. Finally, Brian was just so knowledgeable in dialing me on the bike fit! Highly recommend these guys!

Finally built a bike through Blacksmith! It was a fantastic experience and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Mike and Matt did an great job pointing me in the right direction as far as parts go and Brian did an excellent fit on the bike! Couldn't recommend Blacksmith any higher!

For custom bikes, and that includes standard frames, they are the very best game in town. They have access to parts that others seldom have, and furthermore that have very reasonable pricing. I asked for several quotes for my Litespeed Titanium build and they were the most cost effective and the only ones with immediate availability of GRX and Hunt wheels. Top notch!

First time visiting this shop today after it was recommend to me from a friend, and I should have come sooner. All the staff were friendly and educated/passionate about cycling. Ended up finding a great bib from MAAP and lucky for me it was the only one they had left, took of for a ride already and absolutely love it! Can't wait to build a custom bike here soon!!

Bumped into Mike in a local coffee shop on Roncy and was happy to find a bike shop within walking distance. When it was time to upgrade my components on my vintage Colnago I dropped by Blacksmith and discovered what a lot of Toronto's cyclists know - Blacksmith Cycle is mecca for anyone with a passion for bikes. Mike and Brian helped tailor the upgrade with a bike fitting and expertise on the right parts and Matt and Jesse provided the tweaks to bring everything together. Thanks guys.

10/10 bike fitting experience at Blacksmith. Brian and the entire staff are legends and all experts in their craft. I didn't know how badly I needed a bike fitting until I could feel the difference a proper one makes. My bike feels noticeably better, and I'm excited to get out for more rides. Will be back.

Blacksmith is the best cycling shop in the city period. Frames, components, apparel, bike fittings, mechanical service, and customer service are all on point. They do it all with attention to detail, and with style, but really excel at customizing your bike to you. If you’re serious about building a new bike or upgrading a bike come talk to Blacksmith first. If you’re looking for the best in cycling kit come talk to Blacksmith first.

The only company ever has all the brands that you are looking. Vastly options with vastly experience people, especially for someone like you who is going for highest, bleeding edge technology bicycle. As always, they say, "your dream, we build it!"

Today is the day I picked up my long time dream bike, Bastion Cycle custom bike that is only measured me to ride.

Thank you very much!

Great shop. They are very busy but always try to prioritize awesome customer service. Consistently happy with the quality of work they do. Will be my go-to bike shop for many years to come!!

I can't say enough great things about this fabulous business! I'll start by saying thank you. Thank you to Mike & Brian especially for going above and beyond. If you're looking to do business with people who truly care about their customers and go the extra mile, then you needn't look any further. Brian & Mike took a situation that was out of their control & moved mountains to help me. The whole team "gets it" and they love to share their passion for cycling with others. It rubs off! I for one love my new bike and look forward to continuing to do business with them for many years!

Blacksmith Cycle is second to none, from introduction to execution this shop helped me find a bike within my range, fit me, and educate me. Mike and his team were patient and helpful throughout the process, introducing me to a world I really knew nothing about.

The store itself is a cyclist's dream. The walls are decorated with beautiful, one of a kind frames. The selection of parts, wheels and accessories are curated perfectly to the underlying theme, if you can dream it they can build it.

I can't thank them enough for my experience. If you're considering entering this world, I can't think of a better place to be.

I recently ordered a Canyon bike from Germany and was seeking a bike shop to build it for me and also set it up for my physical measurements.  I live 3-4 hrs. from any local bike shop and had contacted shops in Oshawa and as far away as Ottawa but none could accommodate me.  I came across Blacksmith Cycles while looking at online custom bikes from Cherubim.  I contacted Brian and he fit me into his schedule right away.  My customer experience with Brian demonstrated to me why Blacksmith is rated so highly.  It became apparent that the customer relationship is of the highest value to Brian and his staff.  The mechanical setup and personalized bike fit was to perfection.  Brian's genuine personality is what impressed me the most.  Thanks to Brian, Matt, Jesse and Mike for the awesome experience.

Best bike shop I have been in my life. Staff is amazing and knowledgeable. Special mention to Brian as a great bike fitter and really patient and helpful on sales as well. Definitely my new bike will be with them.

Fantastic bike shop. They saved us when our chain got twisted in the bike. Luckily, we bumped into the owner of the shop. Everyone single person in their was super kind and the shop is beautiful. Can’t recommend this place enough.
