I like to do my own stuff, and my Atlantis is built up fairly simply

Another one who votes with his dollars at Hiawatha Cyclery. Jim and Mark
are great. Willing to put up with my strange needs. Then again, they have
come up with some pretty strange and cool things themselves.
The Twin Cities does have a nice selection of bike shops that speak steel
bikes. Doesn

the formula for a bike shop is building a riding club around it, so you
build a loyal client base. This is where you hire young riders to run the
weekend rides and sell bikes during the week. Their technopassion sells,
and they're the guys who make the dumb antique comments. When I was a

For the work that I can't or don't want to do, it goes to my LBS. Always
has. The mechanics think I have really cool bikes, and they always do a
great job. I have been a customer of this shop since 2003, when I bought
my Lemond Zurich from them. They see it very, very infrequently now.
