Howdy -- a NYC shop I've been wanting to visit is Brooklyn's new
www.bespoke-bicycles.com.  Learned about them when the founder posted
this on EcoVelo: http://bit.ly/hkvbwf ... Rivish?

In Manhattan, has anyone found anything more Rivish than Bicycle
Habitat (244 & 250 Lafayette Street)?

I've been having fun taking my Ram to my LBS (Sids on W 19th St) which
caters to racers and "urban hipsters" and is decidedly non-Rivish.  I
say "fun" because every time I swing by with the bike, I educate the
employees a little about how bikes should be designed.  (The bike gets
a lot of attention from customers and employees alike when in their
shop.  "What is that?"  "Cool bike, man."  "How old is that bike,
dude?" "Why do you have such a huge frame?")  For a while they had a
mechanic from SF who knew all about Bridgestone and Riv, but he went
back home.

I second the vote for rivbike.com and roadtrips to Harris in W.
Newton, MA.

Will
