Philadelphia Bikesmith at 19th and Spring Garden. My first time there. Used to go to this dude Jay in Fishtown, small one man shop at the time but he relocated downtown with a bunch of employees and it's not the same service, also further from my place and I've been meaning to check out Philadelphia Bikesmith anyway. Overall the place was cool and I'm sure I'll go back there for the occasional wheel truing or to pick up some tubes or whatever.
It was funny though. The first dude was all "yeah, this cog won't work, blah blah blah threading, blah blah blah" and then the next guy who looked at it (who had much more of an aura of a man who knows what he's doing) was like "no problem, it'll work". Haha.
