Very thankful that they were able to source parts and do the Jones bar conversion.

Expert, friendly, hardworking staff with a casual cycling ethos. Cat Six has helped me A TON with everything from basic brake pad adjustment to really tricky vintage builds, fender mounting, frame modification, etc. Easily my favorite shop in Portland.

These guys rule. Not only are they expect mechanics, but I appreciate the extra time they put in to make sure your ride is dialed, all the way. In the few times Ive brought my bike to them, theyve explain the how and why of the problem / fix, better and with more patience than any shop Ive ever experienced. Great attitudes to boot. Cant say enough good things about these folks.

Came to the store a few minutes before close a night before a triathlon. My disc wheel freehub was jamming pretty badly and CSC was the only bike store open that late. Despite having loads of work to do, the man working at the time took fixed the problem for an exceptionally reasonable price. Dude is a miracle worker and was very nice to me despite my lack of knowledge and the urgency of my request.

10/10 would patronize again. These cats do fine work. They walked me through a new 650b wheelset for my 2019 Cannondale Topstone every step of the way. Offered clear and concise advice on tire choice, wheel options, cassettes and disc brakes. Im now stoked to be riding a bike that has two wheel sets that are a perfect 1 for 1 swap. Great customer service, sound mechanical work and plenty of experience with various bikes and bike parts!

I was riding through the neighborhood last weekend when I popped a spoke on my bike. This shop was nearby so I stopped by for a quick 20 min spoke replacement. It would have been a standard super easy repair.I knocked and waited out front for some assistance when I was greeted by an incredibly rude staff member. He told me he could schedule something and laughed at me for thinking they could fix it real quick. Ended up scrambling to find a ride instead. Horrible customer service.Do not stop here when you need something quick!

I cant say enough how lucky we are to have cat6 in our neighborhood. I know that times are tight and you can save buying from the internet, but these guys are bike geeks for the regular person. You dont need to be a speedo to get good help like in other shops around town. They are honest professionals 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Great bike shop. Tim and Kirk were great, they took their time and really helped my wife find the perfect bike for her.

One of the friendliest most reasonable bike shops in town. I was in the middle of my first bike build, and I took my frame to various shops looking for some advice. Most shops scoffed at me with little advice. Not cat six. They seemed interested in my project, and asked me questions about the frame that other shops didn’t even bother to acknowledge. They will receive 100% of my business from gear on out ! Thank you.

Amazing knowledgeable service! Such honest transparent pricing and everyone who works there will take the time to explain everything they did and even teach you how too. I dont go anywhere else.

I recently reached out to them for information about a bike and wheels. They responded super fast, was very friendly and very helpful. Had a great interaction with them. 10/10 would recommend this business to everyone looking for kind and professional people. Thanks Cat Six!

I purchased a Masi commuter from the store a few weeks ago and was so glad I walked into this shop. Kirk took the time to get me on several bikes so I could really get a feel for what is out there. Both owners were happy to share their cycling knowledge and take the time to find a bike that suits my needs. I highly recommend Cat Six to anyone that is looking to purchase an urban commuter bike from and honest and passionate local bike shop.

This is a great local bike shop. They have been amazing at giving me practical guidance I get more into cycling. From commuting to gravel cycling the shop has had everything I need including a lot of good advice!

Tim and the rest of the employees go ABOVE AND BEYOND, especially during this time! This is the epitome of what a local bike shop should strive to be. Intelligent, knowledgeable and friendly with exceptional service. Visit these fine folks and experience an incredible local store.

One Stop Local Shop for Expert Service, Advice and a Cat

I stopped by to test ride a few bikes last week and discovered how kind and helpful the folks are here!I showed up a with a vague sense of what I was looking for, and Kirk really helped clarify things. He brought out bike after bike to demonstrate how different sizes and geometries would feel. I felt comfortable asking basic questions and Kirk explained things in a simple and straightforward way.It was such a great experience. Ill definitely be back, both for the cat and the service.

I went to Cat Six for the first time to buy a new bike on Saturday and was totally blown away by Kirk and Tims level of expertise, friendliness, and above all their genuine interest in helping me find the perfect bike to suit my needs. I cant imagine ever wanting to go to a different bike shop in town after having the standard set so high! Thanks again, guys.

Amazing customer service! Will most definitely be back again.

Currently on vacation and towards the end of our stay, my bicycle seat unscrewed itself and came off. Didnt have the tools I needed, but thankfully this shop was nearby. Very friendly and helpful service. Very quickly got my seat on and was able to continue without a hitch. Thanks so much!! Appreciate it. 👍

Great staff, and great service!! Awesome experience. Thank you.

Kirk and Tim are awesome. A wealth of knowledge and great advice and they wont quit till they get it right for you

Had my bike totaled last week so I stopped by here to check out what theyve got. Excellent bike selection, super cool shop owner and a rad feline make this place the bees knees. I hope the insurance values my trashed bike enough to get a bike from these fellas!

This place is rad. Great staff, cute cat(Steve), nice bikes/gear. All in all A+ Pretty much exactly what you would want from your local bike shop experience! Tim and Kirk are knowledgeable, helpful, and they treat you like a person not just another customer. They will do what it takes to get you up and running with a smile on your face. Cheers to the small bike shop and the awesome people who own them!

I don’t think I’ll be able to say enough good things about Cat Six in just a review. You all come highly recommended. They took my needs and exceeded them as a year around biker. I am so excited for my growth because of them. Thank you Kirk, Tim and Steve for making my experience a learning one. So thankful. Happy to be in the family.

Kirk and Tim run a great shop that is like a welcoming and tidy living/rec room, while putting up with my dumb questions and fixing my forays into diy bike maintenance. Their service is prompt and they are honest about what you actually need (or don’t) to spend money on fixing or replacing. I haven’t had a chance to buy a bike from them yet, but they have a great selection of steel whips for city cruising/gravel touring/bike camping/roading. There is also a really unique selection of accessories like stuff from Hunter Cycles and other things you won’t find at most shops. Also... Rockets and Steve.

Great people and great service. I had them replace a crank set on my mountain bike and they were affordable and fast. They are great to have in the neighborhood! I highly recommend them.

I cannot stop saying nice things about the guys here at Cat Six (and Steve 🐱).After moving to NE Portland, I thought it was time to pick up a spare bike. Theyve helped me with tire safety and have shown me how to properly care for a bike.Every Thursday after 7pm (with reservations), these wonderful men help you work on projects after work. I will defiantly keep coming back, as theyre the best around!

These guys are just down the street from me and are the friendliest bike shop in town! I bought a fantastic bike for $500 from them last summer that has held up great! When it does give me trouble I take it in to Cat Six and they get it all fixed up for a great price and no trouble. Great staff; great service! I always know Ill get a warm welcome there.

I spent half a day here trying to find the right bike to fit me. Took half a dozen bikes out for a test ride around the block and let the owners know I was going to a couple of other bike shops in Portland to make the most informed decision. I got nowhere close to the level of service I got here at Cat Six, so I came back and bought the bike Tim and Kirk recommended. 6 months later I am still extremely pleased with my purchase. The bike feels like it was made to fit me due to the adjustments Kirk made at the shop. I only wish I didnt live almost an hour away as I would frequent this place more if it were close to my house. The owners are patient, knowledgeable, and, down to earth. Recommend Recommend Recommend!

I live in Seattle and was looking to purchase a used bike in Portland. A friend suggested Cat Six to aid. Jon went above and beyond. He checked out the bike and confirmed its condition, and once I completed the purchase, he packaged it up and helped arrange shipment. I have worked with numerous bike shops over the years and happily put Cat Six near the top. Great shop!

Like going back in time. Remember when you would walk into a store and be greeted instantly and then given all the one on one attention you could ask for? That is Cat Six. Tim had us ride a variety of bikes to narrow it down to one manufacturer then he swapped out handle bars and grips to get the best posture & comfort then on to different seats until the bike felt as though it was made specifically for you. The process took over 2 hours and when we left both Myself and My wife left with bikes that fit us perfectly because of the knowledge and time these guys will spend with you. Stop by and give them a try, you wont be sorry!

Easily the best service of any shop in Portland. Kirk and Jon are always willing to help in what ever way they can, they give straight honest advice and do impeccable work. Dont confuse this with a regular commuter bike shop, Kirk knows his stuff and can build-up and service anything from cargo bikes to custom performance road bikes. They have a good selection of sensible bikes that other shops dont, will always go the extra mile to help you get what you need and will help you understand/teach you what it is they are doing. I can not recommend them enough.

I went into Cat Six Cycles for the first time yesterday and Im already impressed. As a woman who has done some bike mechanics in the past, Im highly sensitive to shops that are over-masculine and presumptive when a woman walks in. The human that I talked to, was respectful, thoughtful, and informative, without assuming that I had no knowledge of mechanics. Better yet, its my neighborhood bike shop. Thumbs up!

Bought a bike here a few weeks ago, and both Kirt and Tim have been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout that process and after. Even after I bought the bike, theyve spent hours making sure everything is the right fit and works with my particular uses of my new mode of transportation. They obviously stand squarely behind their products and service and clearly see themselves as not just another business, but as community members providing a necessary service to their neighbors. I give them the highest rating possible, and recommend them for all kinds of bike-related needs. Kudos!

Just recently bought a Fuji touring bike at Cat Six and couldnt be happier. It is seldom that you find a shop that combines great products with excellent mechanics. Needed the bike in a timely manner and Kirk boxed it and sent it so it arrived just in time. My husband is loving the ride and has subsequently purchased panniers and fenders so his commute is even easier. Thanks Cat Six!

I have been using them a year or two now. They do my minor maintenance, and they have done major overhauls on my commuter bike. I trust them to do what needs to be done on the little stuff, and they give me a range of options on bigger jobs. Their work is very good, prices are reasonable, they are friendly, and they do all of this without any bike shop attitude which you will eventually run into at the big shops.

It would be an understatement to say that this is the friendliest bike shop I have ever been to. Its owned and operated by two hard-working and passionate cyclists that open their door more than they open their cash register. Literally the Platonic ideal of what a bike shop should be. I cant say enough good things about these guys. Go check it out for yourself.

I noticed this new bike shop in my neighborhood. My beloved road bike had a cracked frame, and I was looking for someone to give me some guidance with finding a replacement frame. The guys at Cat Six didnt just do that, they scoured their contacts to try to make good on the bikes warranty which I had long since lost. They ultimately were able to replace my cracked frame with an awesome new frame, completely rebuild the bike, and give me a custom fit for much less dough then I originally thought it would cost me. In my opinion they went above and beyond what was expected of them.

Great service, great price! I came here to get the tires replaced on my disabled dogs stroller. Instead of just taking my money, the guy who helped me (I dont remember his name) checked the tires and told me that they actually still had lots of tread on them, and that the loss of air was normal, not caused by any damage to the tire. He filled up the tires, and did a simple fix where one of the wheels would not stay on properly. When I asked him what I owed, he said nothing, just write a review! So here I am! I will use this place again when the tires really do need to be replaced.

Im feeling ultra lucky I brought my bike into Cat Six today: My bike is a recently inherited, very old gal I knew 0 about, with the exception she has a decent steel frame. I was hopeful I could fix her into the custom bike of my dreams. Jonathan gave her a thorough going over all the while explaining who she is (a well-worn 1970s Raleigh) and gently laid down the news that shes seen better days & that my time, money, & soul might be better spent on another old gal. While the news was sad, I cant thank them enough for their straight forward honesty, kindness, thoroughness, & patience to take the time to deal with me & set me off in the right direction. Ill be bugging them again soon. And before I forget, I also want to hang out in their shop all day just to cuddle with their polydactyl kitten, Steve!

Absolutely the best bike shop in town for working on your bike, getting advice and receiving zero attitude. They have a nice selectionof quality gear too. These guys are top notch!

This place is great! The staff are welcoming, very clearly knowledgeable about how to do quality repairs, are open to questions, and straight forward in a thoughtful way.Definitely worth supporting these people and their hard work.

Cat Six is everything you want from a bike shop. Friendly people, they do good work, and they have a shop cat. If you need a bike shop, give them a try!

Need to chime in about this place...Im hoping to spread the word on how pleasant my experience has been with Cat Six.So, Im new to Portland, and just working here for the summer. Longer story shorter, I needed a bike to get around. So, I stopped into this place to see if they sold used bikes, which they dont. Instead of just sending me on my way, Jonathan was cool enough to re-direct me to the Community Cycling Center, for a used bike.Once I got my bike, I came back to Cat Six cycles for some repairs on my new (used) bike. I figured Id like to help them out as they helped me out.These guys were great. I cant underscore that enough.Again, Im new to the area, but I know there are lots of bike shops around. I felt completely comfortable talking with Jonathan about what I thought I needed. He could not have created a more inclusive environment.And the work they did on my bike, was top notch. I popped in at 11am today, and they were able to get to my bike and have it ready by early afternoon. I guess Kirk worked on it, and the bike operates smooth as butter now. Kirk even went the extra mile to configure my break handles in a more ergonomic position. I appreciate this so much!This is a great example to the attention to detail I felt compelled to yelp about. I will trumpet my personal experience to everyone, and send each and every person I meet back to this shop.Lastly, thanks Jonathan and Kirk. Your professionalism and dedication to your craft has not gone unnoticed.-Matt

Awesome people needed a shock pump and they let me borrow one for free. Would give them 6 stars for their cat with 6 toes

Whether fixing a flat, getting a tune up, or recommending a new ride, this is a a great neighborhood bike shop. Great price point too. These guys are easy-going and super helpful.

Rad service. They’ll answer any question you have about bikes and they don’t judge if you have no idea what a chainstay is. The kind of guys you can just trust to help you out and go above and beyond in service. The only bike shop in town I know of that will tell you good stories about things like the Surly junk strap.

The service at Cat 6 is amazing! These guys go out of their way to help with the most mundane issues, really know what they are doing, and undercharge you for what they do. 5 stars isnt enough to rate how impressive this place is.

Kirt and Tim are super rad!! They’re alway nice, professional, and fair. They have super big hearts!! Much love to you Cat Six!!!

Wonderful bike shop! Very fast to repair my wheel, and an awesome resource to have questions answered.

Outstanding service. Thanks!

Great service!!!Not snobby or judging, just kind and attentive.💜

I stopped in on my search for a new bike. I was looking to transition from a road(i.e. too stiff) bike to something more comfortable to use communiting/weekend rides/ and around town. The guys at Catsix really took their time explaining some of the different bikes they had, but most importantly emphasized the correct fit—even if that meant not purchasing from them. I test rode different models and returned 3 different times prior to purchase. I visited other shops in PDX, but I really liked the personalized service this place offered. It’s been 4 months since my purchase and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been back to get some free fit adjustments done too. This is a gem of a local bike shop.

These guys are awesome. Helped me in ways no other shop has.

I was in a bind and Kirk at Cat Six put everything aside to fix my bike and get me back on the road in under an hour! Couldnt recommend this shop more. Ill be giving them all my business from now on.

Great bike shop with very friendly service!

The guys at Cat Six have really helped me a lot through some serious bike issues. They are really helpful and offer great advice.

Everything a neighborhood bike shop should be.

Awesome service, adorable cat!

Great service and people, a jewel of NE Portland!

Great service!
