Bike shops in Amsterdam?

Posted on
  • Any shops selling nice bits and bobs, bling and bags mainly? Ta

  • Have been in Ams this week and had a bit of a look myself,found jackshit sofar all seems to be cruisers/dutch bike orientated - fixed isn't popular over here

  • Meh. Cheers anyway

  • http://www.rihsportamsterdam.nl/

    go there, there are a few more shops but i live in rotterdam and i dont know streetnames in amsterdam and i forgot the name of the shop and i cant remember how i got there, dont think this is helping much

  • Amsterdam is the worst place to sell new bike, so there are no nice bike shops over there.
    Junks dominate the bike business there.
    I think you can get any bike for EUR 25.- or so.

    There are reasons why Dutch people browse U.K. forums and other internet pages.
    Certainly not because there's so much nice and good stuff for sale in NL.

  • i went to Rih, it's an o.k shop, bought some gloves there.

    i wouldn't make a special journey to get there although it's a nice area to walk around and wasn't as rammed with tourists as some other areas. didn't see any other bike shops there.

  • GER bikes seems to be cool. I've never been there, but I've heard the stories from people I trust.
    Owner Ger Hermans used to work at RIH, before he started his own business.

  • the ger trackbikes look pretty damn tight

  • try 290 square meters over near waterlooplien. they have some random bits and bobs essentially a clothes shop but they sell a few bikes in there to along with some biking stuff.
    www.290sqm.com
    there is another place that sells track bikes over on Admiral de Rujterweg but they never seem to be open when i head over there. if have time i'll drop over and try and find out the opening times for you.

  • any used bikes places in particular in amsterdam?

  • try tomasito
    he recently moved over there and has been buying a few bikes to ship over

  • This place has a small selection of racing bikes ripe for conversion: http://www.fietspiraat.nl/
    Lots of the general bike shops throughout town have just a very small selection of 2nd hand bikes.
    Marktplaats is still the best source.

  • talk of the devil !

  • There is nice bike shop in Amsterdam Pristine fixed gear

  • Yes, definitely Pristine on Kinkerstraat. Not only do they stock some gorgeous bikes and bits, but they also have the only vegan cafe in Amsterdam upstairs and serve damn good coffee. Lovely people in there!

  • I found some cool retro jerseys on Waterlooplein just 2 weeks ago if that helps

  • Woo & Yay. Am off to the 'Dam tomorrow! Will check these out...

    +1 and very friendly. Nice Gan Well Pro in there had been acquired by one of the guys who worked in there. Stocked some frames, wheels, tyres etc as well as BLB parts. Searched extensively for other track/fixed stores but to no avail. It started to wear a bit thin with Mrs b&d too, but she soldiered on - bless her!

    Coffee was great and the food looked great and there was a nice crowd in the upstairs mezzanine level.
