[Bent] help

Joao,

Just curious, why is Hal so "violently" against recumbents ???

Does he have any logical points to make or is it a case of exuberant irrationality ???

  Not Habitat!

  Their chief mechanic (Hal) is violently against recumbents.  The couple of times I went in there with mine just to buy parts, he went on a rant about recumbents and the people who ride them.

  My favorite ones BY FAR are are: little shop (forgot the name) on West 77th, between Amsterdam and Broadway (closer to Broadway - he's reported to be the best mechanic in town), and Conrad's (41st up on Tudor City, between 1st & 2nd Avenues).  I always service my own bikes, but on both these shops they have been very friendly, got to ride my bikes, and on the 77th street store the guy has even done a couple of emergency services for me free of charge.  Conrad's also do great work, but they charge quite a bit for replacements, and don't carry anything other than top-of-the-line parts.
