Favourite Bike Shops Ever

daccordi I've been thinking about this alot especially since I've just been on holiday in Japan and thought the shops there were incredible.

I think I would put my top 5 in no particular order are:
The Bike Station Edinburgh - It's like an alladins cave of donated bikes which you can search through and all in the name of charity. They even have a secret room with all the special parts. Got my first bike here to make into a fixed wheel, cost me 10 quid the frame was 531 and it had a record headset. They have changed premises now and haven't had a proper look there yet but I'm sure it will still be class. Definatly the place for getting parts for conversions.
Can't remember the name of it but this second hand bike shop in Santa Cruz California - Like a Mountain Bike Museum lots of cool AMP full sussers and stuff and nice cruiser BMX's
Carnival Tokyo - Alot already been said on here
Punch Cycles Tokyo - Ditto
W-Base Tokyo - Loved this shop, really like all the old BMX stuff like shimano dx pedals and GT mallet stems also Brooklyn bikes are so nice
