Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

NYC Bike Shops?

I'll be in NY this week and I'm looking to hit some of the cooler shops and pick up some gear that I might not be able to find up here in Toronto.
Any suggestions?

nycvelo on 2nd ave by 4st nycvelo.com
chari and co 175 stanton street chariandconyc.com
kingkog in williamsburgh kingkog.com 455 graham avenue

chari and kingkog are dedicated fixie shops. nycvelo is just a great all around bike shop.

Continuum Cycles on Avenue B between 12 and 13th. Lots of old rare stuff and a good selection of other things.

In Lower Manhattan, I've explored and enjoyed: Bike Works NYC, 106 Ridge St., https://www.bikecult.com - small, funky shop

and: Bicycle Habitat, 224 Lafayette Street, https://www.bicyclehabitat.com/ - large shop

King kog at brooklyn is also cool.

Bike Works is a great dusty, tiny shop. The owner, Dave Perry, has a long, knowledgable history.

Conrads is an excellent small, nice, high-performance shop. With a gorgeous old Gios in the window.

NYC Velo is neat, Continuum is cool, Trackstar is Trackstar.

eh, the list can go on for days.
