Kozy's has two locations, one on Erie & Franklin and one in the South Loop. There's also Village Cycles, which is on Wells St. one-block North of Division. Hope this is helpful.

Kozy on Erie is pretty sweet... My sister lives about two blocks from there, so I always swing by and see what they have.

Village Cycle...

If you plan on purchasing a bike or frame from Village Cycle, make sure you print out the internet price sheet and bring it in, so you actually get the price from their web page. Seems they conveniently don'e mention it until you bring up the price you saw on their page.

A little late but

Yojimbo's Garage.

Clybourn a block north of Division, west side of street.

Sign for it is made out of bits of plastic and other stuff found in the street.

Door knocker is a big old rat trap.

Don't miss it.

Big on fixies and the messenger trade; not so much mtb inventory.
