the bikes they made out of old little 5 frames are sick. head up to revolution and check them out, seriously.
i went to bikesmiths last year, it was my shop, but thats only because i didnt branch out and go anywhere else. i ordered a bag from them, they never called me to come get it. 2 weeks after it was supposed to be in i walked in the shop and saw it hanging for sale in the window. they do have a good selection of stuff, but they never talked to me about what i was buying or even just casual chit chat.
