SAVE THE LBS - BUY LOCAL
I make it a point to ride to my LBS once a week or so and chat with the owner while he wrenches. Yesterday, he showed me a a 24" DL-1 in minty conditon he's getting ready to put up for sal last month it was Mercian! He's usually got something of interest going on, lots of vintage parts, complete bikes. I buy as much as I can from him, and he's usually tossing some cool part into my bag, cable clamps, or any number of vintage parts cast off by a recent customer in exchange for the latest and greatest. The Garden State lives up to it's name,.. LBS wise that is... The Garden of Eden for Vintage Bicycles that is!
