Retail shelves and bike stands inside the Rifugio Litchfield Hills shop

The Bike Shop at Rifugio

Gear, spares, and service that’s ready when promised.

A small shop that does a few things exceptionally well: boutique high-end builds, honest advice, and the wear parts that keep you rolling.

The retail floor at the Rifugio Litchfield Hills bike shop

What we’re known for

Boutique, high-end builds.

One bike at a time, built the way it should be — spec’d around how you actually ride, assembled by seasoned mechanics, and finished to a standard you can feel on the first pedal stroke.

Custom builds, dream-bike upgrades, and full rebuilds of something you already love. Start with a conversation.

On the shelf

What we actually stock.

If it gets you riding today, fuels a ride, or fixes a flat, it’s on the shelf. Everything else is special order against a work order — ordered Tuesday and Thursday.

Ride-day essentials

Sealant, tubes, valve cores, chain lube, flat pedals, bottles. The things that end a ride if you don’t have them.

Fuel & the fridge

Cold drinks, maple syrup and waffles, and whatever gets you up the next climb.

Wear parts

Disc pads, 12-speed chains, cables and housing — the parts that turn over, in stock and fitted same day.

Cassettes, derailleurs, forks, droppers, motors, batteries — special order at MSRP against a work order, card on file. Ask a mechanic and we’ll put it on the next truck.

Leave your bike with us

Service, by appointment.

Check in below — menu and prices up front, card on file, diagnostic credited toward the work. We email your quote; paying it confirms the appointment.

Service check-in

Leave your bike with people who care.

Check in takes about two minutes. Here’s how service works here:

  1. 01 · Check in

    Tell us about your bike and what’s going on. It becomes the brief for your mechanic.

  2. 02 · We diagnose & quote

    We schedule it in, diagnose it, and email you a quote — parts, labor, and your appointment date. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the work.

  3. 03 · You approve

    Paying the quote confirms your appointment. Parts get ordered and your slot is locked in.

The diagnostic fee

A $25.00 diagnostic applies to tune-ups and a $10.00 diagnostic to à la carte work. It’s due at check-in and credited toward your balance — so if you approve the quote, it costs you nothing extra. Choose not to proceed and it simply covers the full evaluation of your bike.

Service check-in

Step 1 of 5

Who’s the rider?
The bike.

Photos of the bike — so we can see it before you make the trip

A full-bike shot plus close-ups of anything that’s wrong. This helps our mechanics decide what we can take on.

What do you need?

Check everything that applies.

Every check-in starts with a diagnostic: $25.00 for any tune-up, $10.00 for à la carte work only — fully credited toward the work once you approve your quote. Minimum $20 service fee · parts are not included in base pricing. Your emailed quote confirms the final number.

What kind of build?

Bike build

Let’s talk about the build

Nothing here needs to be final — and you don’t need to know the spec. Tell us how you ride and we’ll shape it together.

Contact

Who should we follow up with?

The build

Where you ride it, and what it has to have.

Must-haves

Anything you already know you want on it.

The upgrade

What you ride now and what you want to change.

What you’re upgrading

The rebuild

The bike, its condition, and where you want it to land.

What you’re after

The idea

Start with a conversation — that’s genuinely fine.

How you ride

Fit

Rough is fine — we’ll measure properly in the shop.

Budget & timing

A range is enough. It shapes the spec, not the welcome.

No deadline? Leave it open — good builds wait on parts more than on us.

Notes
