Bike Shop Decor

[weisan]

Starting a new thread on pictures of bike shops with interesting decor. It would nice if you can attach name of the shop and its location if you can...if not, that's okay.

Insert [your image contribution] here...

Pave Culture Cycliste, a cycling shop in Barcelona, Spain.


A bike shop somewhere in Minneapolis, MN.

Really just like riding on MVY

My LBS looks like a junior varsity convenience store without the jar of boiled eggs and beef jerky.

Thing that scares me about those photos is -- will the place smell right?

Distinct notes of Chinese rubber and WD-40 in the nose, with well-structured grease and wet cardboard yielding to tool-steel and sweat in synthetic fabric on the palate, and a lingering finish of grinder dust, saddle-leather, and aging tubulars. . . that's what we look for.

The Minneapolis shop is One on One bike. It's a magical place and worth a visit! Ask about the basement too, there's a ton of treasures down there.

Agreed.

But let's add Grand Performance and Angry Catfish to that list.

Second homes for me.

...and my wallet.

Despite how one might feel about Lance Armstrong, Mellow Johnny's is a cool and great looking bike shop/cafe.

I also love Elliot Bay in Seattle. The vintage bikes hanging from the ceiling are fantastic.

How can this thread be so many posts in and no mention of Peter's ex-shop Vecchios? What a shop SHOULD look like!I have no pictures but many of us have visited (or are fortunate enough to live close by).

Never been there, but will visit this winter on our ski outing in Colorado.

It will be fun to visit the shop, but we are spoiled rotten here in the Twin Cities with our own shops.

I haven't seen it, but it was ranked as one of the top 10 coolest shops in the world. I'll try to visit next time in CO. Which reminds me that I once stopped in Schwab's Cycles. Very cool and understated (it's in a plain cinderblock building behind a car wash). Another with vintage bikes worthy of a museum.
