now, i would never buy a bike from you just cause i don't want what you're selling, but i'd perhaps come by to buy various and sundry items had i not been largely ignored, treated snottily, and over charged ($12 for two rolls of velox rim tape) the one time i shopped at your shop. things like this can and should easily be fixed and then you might see less bashing of NYCBikes on the internet.
Sorry Eva but rim tape is $5.00 a roll everywhere plus tax. I just bought some at Performance for 4.99 on sale for $3.99 add to that tax and shipping? Maybe NYCbikes should offer free rim tape to make up for your being charged market price...
