Stopped in here on my way home from work last night. Right next to the Happy Gnome (kindof) on Selby. It is a little small but they are definitely trying to market to all types of cyclists, which I think is great. They had some Velo Orange racks in stock and I'm not sure if I have seen them anywhere else in the twin cities.

Grand opening is this weekend so it might be a good reason to check them out.

Stopped by Omnium yesterday. Calm and well-lit.

The people running the place were really nice, too. :)

Stopped by here today. Nice shop, very professional-looking. Dan and the other employee were courteous, too.

Stopped by twice in the last few weeks. Once to reseat a tire that was starting to bulge after a roadside flat fix and once to true up my wheels.

Like the space, good music (Radio K) and Dan was nice enough to let me buy some time on the truing stand to give me wheels some love (about 6k and the first time they need it), eventhough it's not really a service they offer.

It's nice, I recommend.

Corroboratin' evidence: I stopped in when I was thinking about a new bike, Dan's great and knows his stuff. I blew up a chain some days later when I was in the area, got a real quick fix at a reasonable price so I could get my ass home. Remarkably good selection given the size of the place. One could easily expect to see a shop in that location filled with nothing but $2k-$6k racing bikes, but he's got steel and aluminum CX bikes in stock, a touring build, a pretty nice fixed gear, kid's bikes, etc. Really nice place, glad it's around!
