History
The
Sierra Cyclesmith was born out of many years of experience, building
bikes, racing, wrenching, and training athletes and commitment to
the sport. 1988 proved to be a year of profound growth and change
for Tim, taking into account all of those previous years of experience
and acumen, he founded Sierra Cyclesmith. This change allowed the
Greater Truckee Meadows to benefit from one of the most experienced
and knowledgeable cycling professionals in The United States. You'll
find this personal commitment with every employee and in every corner
of The Sierra Cyclesmith shop. With huge "Thanks" to our
many patrons, we begin our 14th year as a "shop of choice"
in Northern Nevada. |

John Anastasakes
- John classifies himself as a casual cyclist. He's had an interest
in riding bikes ever since he outgrew his tricycle and fire engine
pedal-car. He comes to Sierra Cyclesmith with over ten years
of bicycle shop experience. He feels most at home when he is
riding his Specialized Enduro mountain bike in the Santa Cruz
mountains and around the trails of the South Bay Peninsula. In
addition to riding mountain and road bikes, John also enjoys
riding his beach-cruiser around the neighborhood. What John likes
most about working at Sierra Cyclesmith is the broad base of
customers who share the passion of cycling.

for over 25 years. Whether it's commuting to work, racing in
the amateur ranks, toiling (ha ha) as a professional tour guide
or just thrill-seeking in the local wilderness, John is happiest
when on his bike. John brings over 20 years of retail experience
to Sierra Cyclesmith, working most recently as manager at Bicycle
Bananas in Reno and as assistant manager at McGhies Ski Bike
