A selection of new track parts, lots of pickings for conversion frames and parts. Good pricing, and Dave is super friendly and helpful. Usually some cool bikes hanging. Great for getting a conversion built up on the cheap.

Cool little shop, some nice random track parts, a few beautiful complete bikes hanging, and good friendly help.

Higher end parts, caters to local velo riders. Great all around shop. Always willing to help you with a fixed gear.
What san diego doesnt have (and I wish we did) is a co-op
I agree with all of the above. Preformance, who normally wouldn't get a nod from me (they bought out a LBS chain and then liquidated thier selection over time.. kind of irks me), has two STELLER KICK ASS Employee's who know fix, and know thier stuff. Ernesto (I think at the Bonita store now?) and Lee (at the La Mesa Store). Ernesto builds wheels that can't be broken, and Lee knows every option there is and if he doesn't finds something else. Always good, always kick ASS.
Adams Ave is quickly becoming a cool place in my book. Friendly, fun, and down to earth.
