Urban Bike Wear & the Mechanics is an independent bike shop and workshop at Tjärhovsgatan 14 on Södermalm, near Björns Trädgård. Its focus is fixed-gear, gravel, touring, bikepacking and custom builds. The shop sells bikes and frames, components, wheels, bags and cycling clothes. Visit Stockholm says the store also carries rain gear and has an online shop, with a workshop next door. Its staff can answer questions about cycling, according to Visit Stockholm.

The workshop takes on jobs from adjustments and full servicing to hand-built wheels. For a custom bike, the process starts with a consultation about the type of bike, how it will be used, budget and fit. This can take place in the shop or online. After a frame is chosen and a deposit is paid, the shop prepares a detailed quote covering components, price and estimated delivery time. Once the quote is approved, the bike is normally assembled within two weeks, depending on parts availability. At collection, staff check the fit, make final adjustments and go over basic setup and care.

The shop’s website invites customers to book workshop time. Its listed information does not give prices for standard shop visits or repairs.
