went to sids bikes on 34th.
the guy wanted to charge me 300 dollars for a new back wheel to convert my schwinn world to a fixed gear. it is a 27 inch frame and he was going to put a 700c tire on the back and keep the 27 in the front. i know its not a big difference but for 300 dollars cmon..give me a break. to make a long story short i went to the bicycle station in Brooklyn and the owner mike is going to order me a 27 inch aluminum wheel with a fixed gear hub and cog. for 90 bucks. i cant wait!!!! i am so happy i went to the bicycle station....now i can rock my 27 inch tires and not worry about lowering my BB to the ground any more.
bicycle station in brooklyn all the way.. i will be a customer of that shop for as long as i live in new york
