alan's is where my parents bought my first few bikes. an old cyclepro bmx bike, then a GT performer freestyle bike. my first road bike came from there as well - centurion lemans rs. i miss that thing...
Pacific Coast Cycles has to be one of the coolest shops around. Their collection of funky older road bikes and old parts is fun to look through. If I were to have wheels handbuilt (e.g. if I weren't cheap
) I would go there.
