This is exactly the type of bike store I have been looking for, for 5 years. The place looks like a dive from the outside and when you walk in it looks like you walked into a messy warehouse. Bike parts are all over the place. I found out however, that this is *the* place to go for bike parts. The owner has a huge stock; he claimed to have over 900 frames in stock. He also builds bikes up from parts he buys in quantities. He claims that he'll put a good street bike with a frame like Sierra (Schwinn) together for abut $250. I am planning on getting a bike from him. It looks like a much better deal than Bike Nashbar - you don't have to drive an hour to Ohio nor pay the shipping expenses. Sanjiv
