Editorial Review for Counterbalance – by Karen Johanson
Down to Business
Custom wheelbuilding for "regular" riders ... and those terrorizing city streets on hotrods with human "engines." Seattle's source for Roach gear-- clothing and armor spawned in the wilds of the North Shore, designed specifically for rough riding. They also carry Orlieb, the messenger world's newest fave bike bags.
The Gear
Voodoo, Redline and Fuji bikes, and a collection of used steeds, with a bent towards "work" bikes ... whether for messengers or wage slaves commuting to their 9 to 5 gigs. Other top-of-the-line gear includes DeKerf and Independent Fabrications.
The Crowd
Counterbalance was started by messengers--and it shows. The Counterbalance crew knows what it's like to rely on a two-wheeled machine, what it takes to keep it going and how it feels when your riding free, flying past stopped cars.

i like going in this store becuase the owners ride bikes and hand pick parts and product for their store. it is very eclectic and mainstream all at the same time. their prices are very reasonable and they have great service
