Actually, that Peddler you mention was called Budget Bicycles, which is a 
business I helped 
to build. The original building held a laundromat. It was an off-shoot of the 
Peddler, but 
came many years after the Peddler was in Long Branch. I'm pretty sure the 
original Peddler 
location was in West End, in a circular building at the end of, or near, 
Brighton Ave, long 
before there was a DJ's in the same area.
As part of the crew that brought Budget Bicycles to life, I was given the task 
of painting 
their sign. Of course, I sucked at art, or sign painting, or design back in 
those days. So I 
painted a horrendous depiction of a bicycle in neon orange paint. Somebody from 
"Ad 
Age" magazine got ahold of that pic, and for one brief week, it won the award 
for "Ugliest 
Sign in America"! 
Now that's something to be proud of.

I can't think of the name either.  There were bikes from ceiling to 
floor.  Name your bike!  I bought my kids bikes in Belmar from DJais;
Fuji's and 1 French Gran Tour 12 speeders.  They were $800 each.  
Bought 4!  The baby had a little red Columbia bike, for $100.  Looked 
just as good as the others!

 My brain is conducting a background search for the name of the Eatontown bike 
shop. It 
 was located where the dentist/porn place currently resides. It had creaky 
wooden floors. I 
 bought my first Raleigh there. 

I think it was called "Man Brothers" or "Mans Brothers" or something like that.

No, it wasn't called The Peddler, it was something else. The Peddler, where I 
worked for 10 
years, was always located in Long Branch. I could be wrong about that, but I 
don't think 
so.

Does anybody remember the bicycle store that used to be on RT. 35 in Eatontown, 
south 
of Monmouth Shopping Center? It had a 6 seater bike in the window. It also had 
a pipe 
organ inside. I bought my first bike there. I miss that place.

 I was on the city yesterday - took the lexington line down to to soho 
from 65th. There was a guy in there playing a pipe flute (pan-pipe - 
ok, I had to look it up). That little wooden sets of pipes echoed up 
out of the subway on up the streets.

Thats why there is little interest to restore it.  They can make 
plenty of money without it, why spend money to restore and then have 
to maintain the thing.  Its sad but true.

Convention Hall's organ would be much more usable on a daily basis 
than Boardwalk Hall's organ.  Picture the sounds of the organ 
spilling out into the Grand Arcade while people stroll through or sit 
and eat.
