Bought my Project One 5900 at OTR a few years ago. Last time in, I was astonished to find they added an entire storefront to serve road and tri clients. The guys tell me it will allow them to carry a deeper inventory. This has always been one of the best shops in any city, and it's great to see them grow. Jose is a master mechanic and the guys are super helpful. I've been going there for years and would not consider another shop.
Pros: service, bigger inventory, easy attitudes

went in with the girlfriend this weekend after reviewing shops online--this one is worthy of the reviews...jared and john helped fit us to the right bike w/ test drive. not a huge selection but solid brand names. jared even helped hook up the new bike rack...10% off anything at time of purchase and for 1 month after. overall good experience.
Pros: knowledgable staff, decent parking, no pressure sales

I just bought a road bike from On The Route and I couldn't have been happier with the service. The guys at the store never tried to up-sell me, gave me discounts on the bike without asking - when I came to pick it up, after I had already bought it, they took an hour with me to show me how to use the clipless pedals, how to change a flat, and basically went through all things I might need. Fantastic service - good selection of goods.
Pros: Service, Bikes, Knowledge

After searching 10 bike shops in Chicago and intensively on the web. On the route had the bike I wanted and went through a custom fitting and let me test ride about 5 bikes. They we're totally low pressure and very cool. Not a lot of "This is the bike I have and it's only $3500" crap. Thanks On the Route. Totally reccomended.
