Thank YOU for letting us stop by to get to know you and showcase that incredible shop! Some friends of ours are drooling! Hope to see you next year! 🤙🏻
Wow, such a cool history of a local bike shop. Loved that it was passed on to the daughter and stayed in the family. Thanks for showcasing this business!! I’ve been to LA so many times and never knew. Will definitely hit up Frank’s the next time I’m in the area. So many shiny things to get!! Already planning DirtyFest 3 in June 2025! As always…appreciate you and Bernie for bringing another video. 🤙🤙🤙
Great to see thi video and appreciate everything that has happened to make this shop what it is.I too, am a female owner/mechanic and have worked in the industry for quite some time. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the comment! I love that you're also a female owner/mechanic yourself! That's awesome! Where is your shop located? Maybe that could be another stop for us the next time we're traveling! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
@@cruisinginthe808 My shop is in the mountains of Maine. I own a large old farm house, and after 911 moved the shop back here. A small space, but one with lots of history as it used to be a black Smith shop. Great video and your respect for this new owner is amazing, thank you for showing her that gesture and for all future female owners!
@@cruisinginthe808 My shop is in the mountains of Maine, small area but an incredibly beautiful spot. Shortly after 911, I moved the shop back to my old farm house.

It will be a great video for future new female owners to see. Thanks Again!
Been a while since I watched the channel (life) watched, and again another excellent video/interview. Really appreciate you both. Been able to find time to ride though and really appreciated when she talked about how riding has saved a lot of peoples lives. We’ve been taking care of my parents, my daughter has some medical problems, and we have one of our children at home and getting out and riding has been Godsend😊🙏 we are so lucky to have this hobby in our lives. I truly enjoy being able to watch really awesome videos like yours. You’re both making the world a better place. Peace🌈
Wow, what an incredible comment! Thank you so much! Yes, being able to just hop on your bike and ride is a Godsend. Let’s you clear your mind and let go of whatever is bothering you for a moment. Or it lets you really think about something too. I’ve had some tough times and going out for a solo ride allowed me to reflect and really think through some stuff. Whatever the reason, having a bike to ride can really be good for your soul. Glad we both can still get out on a ride!! Thank you so much for the kind words and keep cruising!! Mahalo!! 🤙🏼
Much appreciated! Thank you so much for the kind comment! Feel free to share our channel with any riding buddies that also might enjoy our stuff! Mahalo! 🤙🏼
Thanks man! That shop is sick!! Glad we could share it with you. The island we live on is a pretty safe place. Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏼
I use to have a Porsche Shop, & a bicycle shop, near Griffith Park, California both business grew each other. I closed both businesses because the shop kept getting burglarized. The last time the shop was burglarized, they used a 18 wheeler to empty my shop. I still have a small collection of vintage bikes, & tools. When I was a kid, I use to work at Foxies Bike shop in Highland Park. Keep on riding!
Fantastic video thanks, I love looking around little independent bike shops like that, we used to have one of those on every high street in every town in the UK but they’re very hard to find now, I can still remember the smell as you walk in, fresh rubber tyres and grease, thanks for taking the time to make such good content 😊
Thank you so much for sharing that! Really appreciated! Yeah, I used to love going to my local bike shop and just drooling and dreaming over the new bikes and parts. All I could buy were stickers! Thanks for the kind words and for watching! 🤙🏻
That's for showcasting such a great bike shop, I live so close to Franks bike shop didn't know until know that it was even around. For sure I will be visiting it and buying a few items I need for a build I'm doing. Thanks great video.
Working in a bike shop is a dream of mines ur lucky I've been working on bmx bikes since like the80s I taught myself how to fix bikes u wanna hire me lol
Angie you need to be wearing a nice shirt or T shirt, with your company name & your name on it name yourself “Bike Guress Angie” , “Angie Kustom Builder”… Have a fun graphics on it. I am Hispanic, when I worked at a friends Porsche shop, people would question if I knew anything, even when I wore a traditional blue mechanic shirt. Then changed the name on my shirt to “Fritz”. Overnight I became the guy to ask for at the shop. Have a shirt for all the people that work at the shop. By the way when I had my Porsche shop I was close to the movie studios in the Glendale, Burbank area. 75% of my Porsche customers were female.
Angie, U are gorgeous 🌹🤟...and I absolutely love the fact you're into the BMX/ custom bike business. Would really love to meet & ride with U Someday girl. KC32 ❤️
So do I! I used to go in to mine and just drool over parts and stickers. You could get some sick parts for your Monza! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
Just a few weeks ago I did an unintended endo over my bars and got 7 stitches and a nasty concussion. It's a good thing I wasn't running a pair of those "Queen" handlebars. I'd be dead. 🤕⚰
No, not at the time I posted the video. But if you call them Angie and can still help you order what you want. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! 🤙🏼
The point of this video was to get to know her and her shop. I agree with you, it would be better to see the bikes on the ground to see them better. But it was just us and Angie in the shop that day and if you also notice the bars are turned sideways for the rack. I didn’t want to bother her to pull them all down and then adjust the bars and then reverse it all back. Next time we visit we can focus on the banger builds and set that up better. Thanks for watching though! 🤙🏼
Sorry man! It was just us and Angie in her shop and if you look again, the bars are off set so they all fit in the rack better without hitting each other. It would have been easier to see those bikes on the ground for sure but I didn’t want to bother her to have to have them all taken down and adjusted. Next time I can focus just on her builds. This video was more about her and her shop. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
Thank you guys so much for showcasing us !!! This was a great video and such a pleasure meeting you both.
Thank YOU for letting us stop by to get to know you and showcase that incredible shop! Some friends of ours are drooling! Hope to see you next year! 🤙🏻
Now you’re going to famous on RUclips 🎉
I have bought a number of bikes for my kids from Frank’s bike shop in Whittier. Always top notch stuff and their prices are fair.
I believe that shop is owned by Angie’s brother! We need to stop by that shop sometime too! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏼
Sorry about ur dad may he rest in peace bike shop is the perfect job for me I love bmx I started in the early 80s

So do I! I used to go in to mine and just drool over parts and stickers. You could get some sick parts for your Monza! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
Nice shop
She is fully stocked for sure! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
What a cool shop
She really does have a great shop over there! Thanks for watching another one! 🤙🏻

Thatʻs awesome! They make some cool stuff! Thanks for watching another one brother! 🤙🏻
How do you get a hold of him
she definately does have nice parts!!
The parts selection is insane! You feel like a kid in a candy store! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
I've bought tires and bottom bracket bearings from here... They're pretty helpful
They are! Glad you got to visit them and got good service! Ange is good people! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Just a few weeks ago I did an unintended endo over my bars and got 7 stitches and a nasty concussion. It's a good thing I wasn't running a pair of those "Queen" handlebars. I'd be dead. 🤕⚰
Wow! Hope youʻre feeling better now! Dang, hope you were wearing a helmet! Yeah, those bars are insane! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
nice sir

Keeps my blood pressure low
Legion!
Wonder if they have jtt ir jc racing frames
I didn’t see any JTT stuff but try and hit her up on IG!! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏼
Is there website up?
No, not at the time I posted the video. But if you call them Angie and can still help you order what you want. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! 🤙🏼
I seen the quadrangle before you said it
I wanted to get it!!! 🤙🏼
Hey Angie, i got bikes you could borrow if you come to oahu. not as top notch as yours though
I can vouch for Brett that he has some banger bikes to borrow! 🤙🏻
Never gonna sell all that.
You have website?????❤
Frank’s Bikes in Downey does not have a website yet. But if you call them they can ship parts out to you. Good luck!
Bro I wish you would bring the bikes off the rack or out to actually see it. Why film and not show off the bikes ??????
The point of this video was to get to know her and her shop. I agree with you, it would be better to see the bikes on the ground to see them better. But it was just us and Angie in the shop that day and if you also notice the bars are turned sideways for the rack.

Thanks for watching though! 🤙🏼
Una gorrita bro , como le ago pleas .
That’s 100 percent sexist to want a man to service your bike , than a woman. I wouldn’t care, because the expectation is everyone knows their business
Next time take pikes off the rack, can't see anythng...
Sorry man! It was just us and Angie in her shop and if you look again, the bars are off set so they all fit in the rack better without hitting each other. It would have been easier to see those bikes on the ground for sure but I didn’t want to bother her to have to have them all taken down and adjusted. Next time I can focus just on her builds.

Crap !
good shop to go too I will in England so I can't bring my GT beast for some work on I love buying new tech for my mtb nice shop tho
We love buying parts too! Thanks for the comment and for watching the video! 🤙🏻
