[RBW] Re: PHL Riv friendly LBS
Firehouse Bikes at 50th and Baltimore is a great place; they have lots of cheap used bits and plenty of beautiful vintage frames. If you are handy yourself but need some tools and a little assistance, NBW / Bike Church is also a great place to start, near 40th Street with nonstandard hours (http://www.neighborhoodbikeworks.org/programs/adult-repair-co-op/).

I would second Trophy. The owner can be a bit of an odd bird but the mechanical work I had done there was first rate. I now do all of my own service/builds etc so it has been a while since I have been down that way. I will say that when I took my bike there, they were the only shop I had been to that understood how to correctly set-up Paul Racer brakes. The other shops had little idea of how they worked and even less of an interest in trying to figure them out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Trophy Bikes has a Waterford tourer with Tubus Ti racks, bar end shifters and a Dinotte taillight in the window at this very moment... along with a healthy display of carradice bags. I second Bicycle Revolutions as another good choice. On Monday, May 13, 2013 11:56:00 AM UTC-4, Brian Campbell wrote: I would second Trophy.

I have actually had the opposite experience re: Shop Work at Trophy. They reused cable and had no clue how to set up wide profile cantis. Total bummer. But anecdotes aren't data. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

That is why I bit the bullet, bought tools, a stand and forced myself to learn/remember how to do my own work. To many hit or miss experiences.

I have been to trophy bikes several times while visiting Philly. They carry a good selection of practical bikes from Bromptions to Waterfords and the staff is knowledgeable. http://www.trophybikes.com/ -Jimmy On Saturday, May 11, 2013 2:25:07 PM UTC-4, Dan Scott wrote: Any suggestions for a Riv friendly LBS in or around PHL? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

What are you looking for? I live just outside of Philly. I can help with a build if need be.
