[RBW] Re: Beautiful Sam at Bikeworks NYC
Hi Jimmy, I'm the guy from Pittsburgh with the Atlantis. I had a great time in Manhattan that weekend but I missed Bikeworks NYC, maybe next time. I got a new Roadeo frame in the mail last week, plan to build it up over the winter. It is beautiful! Hope to see you again some time. Take care.

Bikeworks is one of the good ones. Another shop I like is Continuum Cycles. A little on the hipster side, but they do seem to stock a lot of sundries (baskets, flat pedals, nitto bars). - J On Sunday, October 21, 2012 7:40:28 PM UTC-4, Joe K wrote: The musings here about Bikeworks are encouraging me to get acquainted with them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Beautiful Sam at Bikeworks NYC
Bicycle Habitat is a pretty good shop in NYC. And there's a Riv-ish place on 2nd Ave and approx 6th St. When I've been in either of those shops with variously my (now former) Saluki, or Kog, or Boulder, they've immediately known what it is under all the dirt. And been very accomodating. Also Adeline Adeline on Reade St is a great shop, lots of transportation bikes. Check out their website.
