In fairness to them it looks like they still have bikes in crates to be assembeled. On the other hand, displaying bike helmets like objets d'art is a worrisome indicator.
My husband and I popped our heads in last night. The place looks great and the staff was really nice.
The bikes are amazing but way WAY out of our price range. My old yellow Amsterdam style bike was stolen last year and I've been looking for a new one ever sense. They told us they have more inventory coming soon so we're holding out hope that they have a few at the lower end of the price range.

They look like they're just sitting on a shelf to me.... /shrugs
They helmets are Yakkays, they're Danish helmets that have a fabric hat that goes over the outside of em. They're pretty cool looking and much more fashionable than your typical bike helmet, they're considered not quite as safe (the helmet itself is solid but the fabric covering could potentially catch on the pavement) but that really isn't an issue for the "daily rider" types. I had considered buying one a while back but didn't want to get one without trying it on first and the only place selling them were web-based shops.

Do the only sell bikes from 1920?

When I saw the doohickey with the rooster on it was thinking "we put birds on things!"
+1 for the Portlandia comments. Hahaha. Hilarious.

They do indeed.

Fun! Being a Portland native this shop makes me feel right at home. :)
About how much are these guys talking? I'm sure it's awide range, but I'm curious to know the entry price point!
