About

Damien Gooch – Owner

A mountains local born and raised in Faulconbridge and attended Faulconbridge Primary and Springwood High. Damien spent most of his childhood bushwalking and riding bikes with his parents who were avid bushwalkers.

What got him into the bicycle industry?

Damien’s last job was for a Tech firm doing business analytics, and he was feeling stuck in a rut, so decided it was time to get involved more with his passion for bikes.

So Who’s Nick Then?

Nick Gooch
Damien’s father was an avid bushwalker & cyclist. Before the birth of his children he was a manager at Paddy Pallin’s in Liverpool St. When his daughter was born he had to leave Paddys and take up a job closer to home in Penrith. After a few years working there he started cycling to work from his home in Faulconbridge 53km a day. He became known locally as “the man with the flag” Racking up over 14,000km annually and just over 4,000 ascents up Lappo. Tragically in July 2003 he was hit and killed by a truck on his way to work.

When Damien decided to open the bike shop he couldn’t think of a more suitable name for it. The other question we get is why is there no apostrophe in Nicks? Basically it’s stylistic, it just looked better without!

Repairs required to my son's bike. Very friendly and professional service. Repairs carried out promptly and at a reasonable price, a pleasure to do business with.

Requested a built of help from the shop with a custom build, and Craig was excited to talk about the project, gave advice on a few things to upgrade. Got it all built for me and it's been great, no issues at all.Service is very knowledgeable and helpful, the staff definitely know their stuff and will try to help as much as possible.

Nick and his team resolved a (very) bent rear mech and completed a service. Bike is running like new again. Friendly staff and good service, completed prebooked work on time and with a smile, as promised.

Booked with Craig a week ago after being told by Tristan at Bikeminded that he wouldn’t look at my bike, dropped my bike off this morning and was told it would be ready the next day.Got a text two hours later saying it’s ready for pick up.Thank you Craig for the haste repair of my rear hub and fitting the new chain.If you’re going to take your cycle anywhere in the blue mountains. Definitely head on over to Nicks.You boys have found yourself another customer.
