This Portland shop carries both Giant and Specialized brands which are foremost among the top name bicycle makers worldwide. Both of these manufacturers are known for producing quality, sturdy and attractive bicycles known for their reliability and dependability for both the road and mountain biking markets. Unlike big box department stores, Gorham Bike and Ski is committed to finding the right bicycle for each individual customer.

Staff go to great lengths to ensure that the selected ride is safe and comfortable while also meeting cyclists needs and biking preferences. For instance, bikers who prefer off-road experiences – but favor carriage paths over rooty and rocky forest trails – might very well be directed to hybrid bikes by shop experts.  Similarly, bikes can be customized with seats, handlebar adjustments, and even brake lever tensioning to meet bikers’ measurements. Staff expertise also extends to their wealth of knowledge about first rate locations for biking in the Portland area.

At the same time, Gorham’s fully equipped bike maintenance department is available to help make sure all purchases are kept in tune and in road-worthy shape for cyclists. In addition to their premium bikes, a full line of quality cycling merchandise including helmets, jerseys, locks, water bottle carriers, gloves, biking shorts, and other accessories are available for purchase.  Finally, the value of Gorham’s bike offerings is further enhanced by the first free tune-up that accompanies each sale, as well as the in-store guarantee of customer satisfaction.
