I would trust no other mechanic with my bike than Mark at Vanilla. Give him a go. I'm sure he will not disappoint. It isn't a typical Bike shop where you need to be part of a certain 'crew' or type of rider or have a certain bike and ride certain groupsets.
Your ride starts here.
Friendly expert service, new and second-hand bikes, and all sorts of gear. Serving the Inner-West since 2008.

Bikes since four. On the tools for 25 years.
Mark’s been playing with bikes since he was four and working on them for the past 25 years. At Vanilla Cycles, that lifelong enthusiasm comes with a straightforward approach: listen, explain the options and give each bike the care it deserves. From your everyday ride to something a little special, you’re welcome here.

Mark was so amazingly helpful and understanding. Took my bike in for a service and he showed plenty of care with all the questions I had to ask while I was there. He gives really trustworthy and honest advice. After the service, the bike feels great. Will be coming back
I went in to see if a $4 bike tool was in stock. Mark was happy to discuss a niche issue I'm having with a front derailleur. We also chatted about the merits of various electronic and mechanical groupsets . There was no expectation. It was 100% genuine advice and friendly service.
The absolute only place you should be taking your bike for a service in Sydney! I recently had my e-bike serviced here, and can’t think of a single flaw with the service. The guys at Vanilla really know their stuff, and clearly really care about giving locals quality services.
