single speed friendly lbs recommendations for seattle?
a friend of mine just moved up to seattle and decided it would be in his best interest to purchase a bicycle. duh. well, he has now decided that a single speed would be a good idea too. duh. the problem is that he is not overly mechanically inclined when it comes to bicycles. i told him as best as i could what he should do to convert his bike and suggested he get the read on on sheldon brown, but also recommended he just take his rear wheel to a shop to have the freehub body pulled off and have it re-dished and respaced for single speed use. are there any shops in seattle that i could refer him to that are single speed friendly? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. oh yeah... dumptruck. and a junkyard too. hiyah!

Charles at Wright Bros offers a sweet deal. For a one-time fee of $30.00 he has a shop (with 5 bike repair stands, tools, wheel truing stands, etc.) that is free to use. The place is very cool.....as is Charles. Jim edit: Ooops. How could I have forgotten Recycled Cycles in the U. district ... Talk to Paul. |
thanks so much guys. i'll pass on your suggestions.
