This is Revolution Bicycles.
I love it when Bike shops open up in old historic building with wood frames picture windows and tin ceilings. I love it so much I get all giddy even when the shop is in a newer building that fakes all that historic crap.
Apparently I love is so much I fail to take decent pictures. This one sucks even by cell phone standards!
The front. Thems aint wood framed windows, but hey, they had a dog.
To the BBQ!
Merchandising! - Hats off to having the balls to put a full built bike on a glass top counter. That is man-nugget material.
Bikes! - Props for making a living off Orbea bikes. Thinking outside the box and selling the adventurous products designed by Basque separatists will always gets a full rack of toasty toddlers. Plus, Orbea Bicycles has been an employee-owned co-op since 1965. I dig that.
Staff and Critters! - Two words: SHOP DOG! Instant fuzzy feelings. These people could have been child molesting porn peddlers fronting as a bike shop but I couldn't give a crap what with a shop dog to play with. He even had a bowl of treats you could feed him from. What does a dog have to do with a bike shop you ask? Get off my blog.
Enviro! - Positives, glass cabinets and shop dog! Negatives, fake tin ceiling and pseudo vintage storefront. Still a cool joint. Needs a kegerator.
Inventory! - Its a dinky place with not a lot going on stock-wise. Folks seem knowledgeable though so as long as they don't keystone their customers to death with full retail on special orders and a death tax on shipping on top of that, then you'd do OK.
Grand total...
4 Flaming Babies!
