To Bryant and Lake. I question the wisdom of moving within two blocks of two other shops, but it might help to move some used bikes faster. They have had a pretty decent collection of used framesets at the old location, so it'll be a good option for people looking to build up bikes.

As if expanding wasn't enough?
I think the location they're at now is too out of the way to be seen by much traffic or many passers-by.

Cool, I'll have to stop by there. The old location was a bit out of the way. I'll tell you what, just about everyone at Phoenix would benefit from riding a bicycle.

Holy Crap!

They are in Deephaven (or at least have a mail-drop there).
Wonder what that will do to Dreamhaven books across the street?!

Wonder what that will do to Dreamhaven books across the street?! Doubt it will do much. However, all times are tight right now. So it probably won't help business at DreamHaven. (Confession - I've known Greg since the early 1980's.)
But with Sunrise across the street, there is another reason to head down there more often.

There was a group ride setting out from Sunrise @ ~ 6:00.

Was at Sunrise yesterday oogling a Brooks saddle, when I turned around and noticed a wicker bicycle. Thats right, wicker from top to bottom.
I also spotted a Raliegh bike that was brass plated. For a second I thought it was one of the 10 gold plated Colnagos, but just for a second.

It's a steel bicycle that's been covered in wicker...
I asked Jamie about it last summer.

Well, I knew that. You can see the steel near the head tube. Sill, a neat looking bike imo.

My family (all two of us) has purchased all of our used re-built bikes from Jamie at Sunrise. He does seem to come across a lot of good stuff. I recommend him and Sunrise for good used frames, etc. IMHO, of course.

Sorry not up to speed on this net thing.could have saved a lot of add $ last year.My computer skills are about the same as the other scott's.
We did move,to Bryant and Lake,it has been great and the other two shops have been sending me customers every day it seems,..I have so much room here but am quickly filling it up.Both with repairs and used bikes.
Happily I am busy.Still working out details in the new space.
Happy to have y'all bye whenever.
Jamie.

I too noticed that wicker bike, pretty neat. I was however a bit discouraged with the prices of both bikes and parts... The guy working (I believe this was Jamie) seemed like a very nice person though..
