Vecchios is a boutique shop, I go there and drool at their selection of frames, nice guys too. I've heard about a used bike shop in NoBo, but I can't confirm it. Amante is interesting, latte sipping in spandex and then a brutal hammer fest...truly Boulder indeed. Also, the "Republic of Boulder" stuff is ridiculous...maybe 20 years ago when Boulder was THE liberal enclave of Colorado....there is a bit everything Boulder, mostly rich everything.
Thank you for saying that --- I find Boulder to be one of the most capitalistic places I've ever been to. Commies, my arse.
