I would trust no other mechanic with my bike than Mark at Vanilla. Give him a go. I'm sure he will not disappoint. It isn't a typical Bike shop where you need to be part of a certain 'crew' or type of rider or have a certain bike and ride certain groupsets.
Your ride starts here.
Friendly expert service, new and second-hand bikes, and all sorts of gear. Serving the Inner-West since 2008.

Don't just take our word for it.
Mark was so amazingly helpful and understanding. Took my bike in for a service and he showed plenty of care with all the questions I had to ask while I was there. He gives really trustworthy and honest advice. After the service, the bike feels great. Will be coming back
I went in to see if a $4 bike tool was in stock. Mark was happy to discuss a niche issue I'm having with a front derailleur. We also chatted about the merits of various electronic and mechanical groupsets . There was no expectation. It was 100% genuine advice and friendly service.
The absolute only place you should be taking your bike for a service in Sydney! I recently had my e-bike serviced here, and can’t think of a single flaw with the service. The guys at Vanilla really know their stuff, and clearly really care about giving locals quality services.
Four good reasons to roll in.
Whether your bike needs a tune up, a total rebuild, or you're after something you can't find anywhere else, we've got you.
