so i'm going to san francisco
 

for the weekend of aug. 2. i'm there saturday and sunday. i have like 5 hours or so to look at stuff, not a whole lot of time. i'd like to visit a nice bike shop that has neat stuff.

i'd be cool if i could pick up a deep V rear wheel, anyone know a shop that sells them? i can't just walk into a shop and get them here.

any other shops i should check out?

American Cyclery has nice things to look at, but with heavy price tags.

ah cali land of the deep V =)

I think the 7-11's in SF sell deep V's, right next to the flashing bic lighter covers.

posting for later. flying to san fran in an hour, ha.

Keep visiting, people. Just don't move here, rent is already through the roof.

Seriously, it's rough!

I'd say cruise the bike shops in the Mission, specifically on Valencia St. Valencia Cyclery (At 20th or 21st I think) and The Freewheel are both great shops and I know for sure they both sell V's. I saw a couple Aerospokes hanging at The Freewheel just last week, too ;D.

Other basic spots near by would be Sports Basement right off of Protrero and Bryant (Near the Protrero shopping center), and you got Performance Bikes down on 6th and Brannan (But I doubt you'd wanna go there :P )

Also, another nice shop is Pacific Bicycles near the Metreon. Sometimes pricey as well, but the staff is nice.

Hey, the rent has actually gone down since I lived there 5 years ago.:crash:

Weird, my rent went up the last two years.
