Where oh where has my Nova Bicycle Doctor gone?

[Bike-Ped Manager]

Has anybody been to the Nova Bicycle Doctor (aka: Vince Acot) recently? I’ve been bringing my whole family’s bikes there for tuneups for the past few years. But I just went on line to make an appointment with him and his website is down and his toll free number is disconnected. I fear the worst. He ran a rather shoestring operation out of his house and a small office storefront. But Vince and his wife are the nicest people and he does real quality work at exceedingly fair prices. (I worry now that maybe his prices might have been a bit too fair on behalf of his customers!) Anyway, just wondering if anybody has any news of his whereabouts. This winter has been rough on the bikes and they all need a little TLC. http://bikearlingtonforum.com/images/icons/icon9.png

I am looking for Vince as well. If anyone knows, please post here. I’m going to email him to see if I get a response.

I just tried to email him at novabicycledoctor@gmail.com and the email bounced back. It looks like Vince is no longer working on bikes.

hello all! Sorry for disappearing but I had to take some time off to concentrate on another venture to help a family friend out. Im getting back into the industry and will start doing bicycle repairs on the side this riding season. Email me at novabicycledoctor@gmail.com if I can be of any service. Thanks again and ride safe!
