Boston Bike Shop

I'm looking at a bike in Boston, seller lives near Cambridge. Does anyone know of a good shop that could potentially help with boxing and shipping?

Thanks!

Ace Wheelworks

Probably a billion others - there's a lot of great shops in the Boston Metro

The seller is cool.

Glad the bike is going to someone who appreciates vintage (and rare) bikes!

Shipping a bike involves taking it apart, which falls under the heading of working on bikes. I have a rule that I have to ride 100 hours for every hour I work on a bike. So if the bike is my size and you don't mind worn out tires...

My first riding buddy seemed to have the opposite view. Every time I wanted to go for a ride, his Gitane was in pieces in his garage, while my Atala was raring to go.

Now with the wonders of N+1, I can have multiple bikes in pieces in my shop, and still go for a ride!
