College Cyclery Sacramento CA
A pretty awesome little bike shop with a lot of old school and out of the ordinary bicycles. Really, it almost reminds me of a Vintage Bicycle Museum of some sort. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they have been doing this for a while. Also they have a very large selection of catalogs to get parts from, so basically if you can’t find it anywhere else, you will more than likely find it at College Cyclery. The prices on bicycles are pretty steep, but now that I think about it, they have the oddest and most unique bicycle selection I have ever seen. So if you are looking for a rare part, some custom work or repair, or a unique bicycle, go here and expect to see some pretty neat things.
