New york fixed gear

Fond memories from the early '90s of a room in the Carlton Arms painted like the inside of a submarine - the bathroom was painted like the sea and there was a mermaid in the bath!

Hotel 17 is better tho.

yeah the submarine room! me and my girlfriend painted a room there about 6 years ago....the schoolroom, it was a blast.

Just resuscitating this thread again - can anyone sort me out with an invitation code for the NYC fixed forum? Eternal gratitude, etc....

I tried in vain to get an invite before I went over in Nov.

Had a great trip - hired a nice road bike from NYC Velo (2nd Av & 4th St) for a reasonable $.

Try continuum cycles for a NYC forum invite - great shop (a bit like blb) and definitely on the forum - were pretty helpful

Sorry, also do not have an invite but can echo Velo for rentals, along with Bicycle Habitat (Lafayette & Spring) and Sid's (E 34th & 2nd or W 19th & 7th).

Breath of fresh air.

So,

i'm off to NY in March for a week, gonna see some friends n all that jazz. As i cant stay in their apartment the whole time i've been looking into hotels/B&Bs, like the ones above, but they're all mega expensive.......does anyone know some cheaper places?

Nice - will do. I'll be staying just by Central Park too.

Hey, I'm off to New York next week and wondered if anyone on the forum could recommend some good Fixed Gear shops over there.

Thanks

Ah balls. Thanks.

Has anyone got an invitation code for NYC Fixed Gear?

are there less HGVs in NY than in london?

Has anyone got an invitation code for NYC Fixed Gear?

I tried to get one in Nov - hard to come by.

They seem to be a bit more paranoid than LFGSS.

Try mailing a shop like continuum the guys there are involved.

wow trying to find the code for NY Fixed gear is annoying.

Didn't really know where to put this but thought maybe there might someone on here that can get to Annapolis for this rather interesting sounding event:

Hi all:

Velo Orange is holding a garage sale Saturday November 6th from 9 to 1pm. Rain or Shine. Our address is:
1819 George Ave
Annapolis MD 21401

We're selling sample parts that were displayed at Interbike and in our showroom; they lack packaging or show some shop wear, but are almost like new. There are some returns that we can't sell as new, a bunch of prototypes, a few scratched frames, some discontinued parts, and stuff that's been used on test bikes. All-in-all there are hundreds of items. We want to blow them all out in one day!

We'll also have frames, and bikes, and parts that our staff members want to sell from their personal stashes. A lot of this is NOS, old stuff, shop worn, daily rider type parts and accessories.

More info is here:
http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-annual-vo-yard-sale.html

Please note- this is an IRL type sale. You have to be present to win. No online transactions, no shipping, no holding of stuff, no rainchecks, no back orders. Once it's gone it's gone.
