Am going to be in the city looking to buy parts for several bikes this week, could use some steering to someplace where I can walk in and leave with some wheelsets, freewheels, etc. Thanks, -H
Sids Bikes is usually pretty well stocked.

I second that. Toga or Gotham if you're downtown.

If you are looking for cheap, don't expect to find it in NYC at a LBS.
