I've been in that store many times and used to ride with some of the guys. I have no problem shopping there. Their store is in a sketchy part of town, but has been there for something like 50 years. The son bought out the old man (Ben) a number of years ago, then bought the old theater across the street that they use as a warehouse. They have a TON of nice stuff and are very helpful. One of the few bike shops left in the old style with wheels and bikes hanging from the ceiling, the basement jammed with old stuff, and employees that use what they sell. Spent quite a bit of time helping my friend set up his son with gears for junior racing and getting his license. They have a HUGE ebay operation.

I recommend them.
