Around 30th ST? If so, that's Trophy, pretty cool place. Particularly if you like folding bikes.

I worked at back bay around 7 years ago. Maybe 8.

a lot of the shops are pretty pompous, but that's bike culture. That pompous attitude is also the northeast. We're well known for being pretentious and condescending know it alls.

There's also Keswick cycle, Human Zoom, Performance[ICK!!], Bicycle Therapy which is right around the corner from my place[good dudes there, but they cater towards roadies], Firehouse, Bike Line, Cadence, Bike Stable[good dude's there too], Trophy, Mexibike, Frankenstein[be prepared to have your ears chewed off and meet a badly copped attitude if you leave without buying anything].

etc etc etc

Thanks for the shops guys, definately am gonna check them out. Took my bike to guys friday morning said they were short handed, so it will be done on saturday. Its now monday they close in a few hours and still didnt call me.

**** those guys! Either go over and get them to build your bike or pick it up and build it yourself.

For real, go in and ask about it.

Legit. That kinda sucks.

Oh I called right after I posted this, they said the bike was done I thought common curtiousy was to call me asap when it was done but I guess not.

Frankenstein is a decent shop, I have heard that the owner can be an ass but he was cool with me the few times ive been there. fast and reliable service though. At least in my case.

Yeah, they're alright if you need to swing by and grab something, but I've seen them hack some repairs. Like haggard repairs, and send em out the door like nothing happened. It's too bad.
