Amsterdam fixed gear-shopping?

Going to amsterdam next week, but I've heard that there are surprisingly few fixies there despite it being the biggest bike-city in Europe.

Anyone knows of any good shops where I can pick up some fixed gear-friendly stuff? =)

P.S.
Haha! ^^ No fixie-skidder in my thread title!

Awesome, those gazelle bikes look lush! Real comfy I believe?

Thanks, guys! =) Will check out the other threads..

I was there the other week! If you go to RIH they open and close at weird times! Like 3pm on a saturday! Went to the flea markets. Lots of stuff for the polo players.
Found another shop in Waterlooplein that had BLB stuff in!

Presto in the Haarlemmerstraat. Good bicycle shop. Doesn't have Fixies but can definetely help you because one of the guys working there rides one himself...

Hi all. Quick resurrection of this thread as I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow and would quite like to do some shopping - ideally for vintage rather than modern. Any suggestion gratefully received. Thanks.

Dutches call fixed wheels suicide bikes.

Think RIH is worth a look for more trad stuff, somebody may want to correct me though

Might not be that vintage, but still a good and nice fixed gear shop :).

You can find them at:

Kinkerstraat 14
1053DV Amsterdam

RIH is an awesome shop to have a perve around. Haven't been for a while so couldn't recommend any others..

It's in the lovely Jordaan area.

So... RIH and Pristine ticked off. Both well worth a visit - Pristine chaps especially friendly (they even printed off my boarding passes for the flight home!). Picked up a locally made wooden flat handlebar while there. No idea what I'll use it on yet but it looked great...

Planning a trip there in May-
Is there any where you would recommend to stay?

Bear in mind that I am travelling with my good lady wife and the two teenage daughters.

If you are saying more than a few days an apartment let makes cash money sense and you can pick places with real Dutch "gezellig"

will be in Amsterdam this sunday, monday any shops open this days?

i can second that! when we went they were really nice to us and we also enquired about that handlebar. pretty pricy though if i remember correctly.

Any lfgss guys in the dam atm? Passed a guy on a very practical fixed, didn't get
see the brand.. It had racks and stuff, looked like something that I imagined Scobles
would be riding. He looked Englishy..
