Streetlevel: New Bike Shop for Fort Greene
This got a brief mention earlier this month on General Greene, but it seems worthy of more attention: Fort Greene is getting its very own bicycle shop. According to a sign in the window of the former Snip Snap hair salon at 66 Lafayette Avenue, the new shop will be called Bespoke Bicycles and will…
This got a brief mention earlier this month on General Greene, but it seems worthy of more attention: Fort Greene is getting its very own bicycle shop. According to a sign in the window of the former Snip Snap hair salon at 66 Lafayette Avenue, the new shop will be called Bespoke Bicycles and will open “soon.” GMAP
The store itself doesn’t have a lot of space. I imagine they’ll do a few specialty bikes (given their name) and that most of their business will be repairs.
Ah this is an excellent addition to the neighborhood; there are lots of cyclists in the area and we hope the prices will be reasonable.
R/A is only good for their pump outside the store, prices are ludicrous
“in the case of R&A on 5th, decent/good selection with bad service and worse prices.”
AMEN!

That’s not the former SnipSnap. If you actually look, SnipSnap is still open 10 feet to the left. That is the former TransAcademy car service which went out of business because they charged $45 to get to JFK.
Word on the street is, TransAcademy wanted $80k to take over their lease which had almost two years left on it. Hopefully they negotiated a lower rate. I just hope they’re not hipster track bike snobs.
“We specialize in fixed-wheel models for the fashionable Asshat/Hipster.”
if you want reasonable priced equipment, try good online stores like nashbar and performance bike. i live in p.s., and you either the stores have the junkiest selection, of in the case of R&A on 5th, decent/good selection with bad service and worse prices. i found much better quality tires online for literally 1/4 the price R&A was asking.
Maybe it will actually have reasonably priced bikes and equipment unlike the ones south of Atlantic in Park slope
whoohooo!
