CAn someone recommend a bike shop in Manhattan or nearby ?

I will be in New York for the weekend, and I was thinking maybe shopping for some cycling shoes for giant bear paws (size 14.5).
Any recommendations for a good bike shop ?

Bear,
I see the Agio rated at 275#, where did you get the 350# from ?
I am in a similar boat, my choices are the RANS Formula 26 HD or the Lightfoot traveler.

Yes, this is the store. Very helpful, nevertheless, does not have any LWB in stock. That's why I have to drive to the bicycle man in Alfred, NY, 800 miles return.

Anyone 6'3 (190cm) or more ride a 'bent ?

If yes, which model do you ride?
I tried a SWB and was definitely for someone 5'8 max.

RANS F5 Enduro strong enough for 375# ?

My LBS has a F5 Enduro on sale, and I am tempted.
If I rebuild the rear wheel, is the F5 a good choice for commuting 25-50 km a day (both ways) ?
Or I am going to destroy it at 6'2 and 375# ?
