Recycle-a-bicycle has shops in DUMBO, Brooklyn and one at 75 ave C in the East Village. If you're in the east village shop, ask for the big guy with curly hair and glasses, I think his name is Roger.

George,
Your reply is a Hoot. But what Worksman
makes and what most of us ride, are quite different. Kinda like asking Freightliner
to give adviser on fixing my Honda motorcycle, or going to a nice ladies dress
shop to pick up a pair of Carhart jeans. Different worlds.

New York Bike Shops
Importance: High
There must be a few of them!
My suggestion is an unusual one!
I would most respectfully suggest that Mr. Sugahara's brother go through
"Worksman Industries and determine who their dealers are in the
following areas:
Manhattan
The Bronx ,
Queens
Brooklyn
Staten Island
and Westchester .
The firm makes very rugged quality
products and they must have a decent list of quality distributors.
Their business address is:
Worksman Trading Corporation,
94-15 100th Street ,
Ozone
Park ,
Queens , New York
ll416.
I realize that this is an off the wall
answer but, the firm is the oldest Bicycle Manufacturer in the
United States
and they must have developed a few knowledgeable franchises in the New
York Metropolitan Area over the years!
Respectfully
yours,
George de
Randich,
Longview, Washington
