Really cool scene bike shop aufm Kiez which seems like its the center of the messenger/fixie scene…read morein Hamburg based on the people hanging out and the gear that they have in the shop.
I needed some new pedals for the bike Im rebuilding and swung by before closing time. Jan, the guy who runs the place, was super nice, helped me out to find some pedals exactly for what I wanted to use them for and let me use the shops tools to switch them out. Bike shops like this always get love from me - not only do they sell things to you but also help you help yourself and let you use all the tools that you would love to have, but dont have the space (or cash) to invest in it.
Also, though these guys are all bike geeks, if you come with your old Hollandrad they wont raise their noses at you. Overall a great bike shop and will probably end up being my preferred LBS (local bike shop).
