If you have a basic set of metric hand tools, you are honestly better off doing the work yourself. Vintage bikes are fairly simple to work on and you can find full service manuals online. Also you can inquire over at /r/motorcycles What exactly are you needing done?

I've been looking around myself. There used to be a guy in South End that did some work on my '76 CB but he's not there anymore. I've had to do some stuff myself, but I don't have the tools or the know-how, even with a shop manual, to sync the carbs and stuff. Good luck finding somebody, I'll let you know if i come across anyone.

Automotive International right off South Blvd works on vintage cars, and one of the owners is a bike lover. Really nice people, I used to landscape for them. (704) 521-2886

This guy does great work: http://2topiacycles.com/ Also I live in Southend and could maybe help with some things. I just re-did all the ignition system for my 81 cx500c. Luckily bikes that age have very little in the way of regulators and resistors so testing with you multimeter with the help of forums and other Honda sites will gain you a lot of knowledge. You mentioned you were buying a DMM and, honestly, I found they are only as helpful as your knowledge of electric systems as you need to measure resistance on some things and voltage on the others. I wish I had a link to a good learning course on this as I very much want to know more too. Even still, when it comes to testing whether or not a wire has lost its way you can do very easily. One comment mentions South End and is referring to Caleb who used to run South End Cycle Works. I haven't seen him around in a while and I know his shop isn't open any more, at least where he used to have it, but I'll keep an eye out and see if he's still doing work. He was very knowledgable and very honest and even let me use his bike trailer for free once. In my experience though, there's a ton of forum info for old Hondas that should guide you in how to check stuff, just may take some extensive googling. Good luck and I hope to see you out there!

My friend and his brother own Prism Motorcycle Co, plenty of experience with CBs and other old stuff. http://www.prismmotorcycles.com/

I'm moving to Charlotte near the end of the month. I'd love to help if you buy the beer!

Recyclery, Spoke Easy, Uptown Cycles are my favorites

Queen City Bicycles! Ask for Bart..he's the owner and he's awesome

There's a Trek shop in ballantyne, never been there tho. Bicycle Sport on Selwyn Ave has some good guys working there. Listing a few more: Uptown cycles, Bike Source is pretty big so turnaround might be faster but they mostly sell Specialized. Prolly some others I can't think of rn

I took my daily commuter (Trek road as well) to [The Spoke Easy](https://www.thespokeeasyclt.com/). Price and work were quite good from what I can tell, communication as to when it'd be ready and what would be done sucked though.

Charlotte Cycles in the Cherry neighborhood has been great. There's a Trek store near Northlake, but I bet they're $$$.

Trek store up in Northlake

I've liked Performance Bike on South Blvd, and Ultimate Bicycle in Matthews. Though Charlotte has a pretty passionate cycling community, so I'm betting any of the recommendations you get here will be good ones.

Performance Bike on South Blvd. Brandon is the shop mechanic and does a solid job. Also The Spoke Easy is solid. The Bike Van is another great service that will come to you.

There is a Trek store in University City.

The Right Gear in concord.

James at Inside Out does a great fitting too

Bought my wife's Raleigh here for the low low. Plus think about the children! http://www.tripsforkidscharlotte.org/

Almost all bike shops will have some selection of used bikes, and even if they don't have what you're looking for, talking to the right person may net you what you want. And since you don't really know what you want, talking to an honest to goodness bike shop will be a lot more helpful than trying to just look at used bikes. For all you know, a new bike might meet your needs. First place I'd try for a used bike in that price range is Bike Gallery in Dilworth on Park Rd. Then try Ultimate down in Matthews. If neither of those places have what you're after, just start calling shops around town, Charlotte has quite a few: https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+shop%2C+park+rd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#safe=off&q=bike+shop,+charlotte+nc&rflfq=1&rlha=0&tbm=lcl

Charlotte Bike Market on Facebook is pretty active. What type of bike are you looking for?

Spirited Cyclist in Davidson

Matt Appleman incredible, you have to ship it to him though. Fixed my cervelo s5 in a week full out and back. Paid some extra but worth every penny!

Check out Queen City Cycles in Southend. I am pretty certain they rent out decent commuter bikes.

Uptown Cycles rents out the Cannondale Bad Boy http://www.cannondale.com/en/USA/Bike/ProductDetail?Id=ae808428-174 a-4 c34-be79-8990 bf075 c55&parentid=22257 a89-6 b00-4 ac9-b55 d-06871 c31710 d

Pel Deal recommends https://www.facebook.com/264271437029700 Hot Box Powder Coating

The recyclery

Play It Again Sports on HWY 51

Check out gear goat exchange

Spoke easy! Got a bike there for 100$ the other day

Why not just get a new one from a box store? Kids grow so fast it really needs to last 1-2 years. You can get a new one for under $150

Mojo cycles is doing a blowout sale. Small place but great deals right now

Interested. Hit me up via email joey. Need overall dimensions and $ rooskie@comporium.net

Bike fit wise I would probably recommend Bicycle Sport in Myers Park. All the other shops listed are EXCELLENT, but in terms of biking fitting the guys at Bicycle Sport are top notch. Make sure to ask for Ben Cooley

And we don't do fittings at The Cycle Path...or sell road bikes. frown emoticon

Bicycles East has a fitting machine now. It's pretty badass.

There's a trisports and a performance bike on the south side and there's "The Right Gear" in Concord which is basically on the northeast side. The right gear is your best bet for pro shop work.
