603.0. "Bike Shop locations, new and changed." by MENTOR::REG (Keep left, except when not passing) Tue Apr 05 1988 14:31

    
    	I couldn't find the  "Bike Shops"  topic, maybe we never had one,
    so I'll start it here.

    	This is a change of location and name for (I think) the only
    bike shop in Marlborough Mass.
    
    	Steve's Mass Transit
    	180 Main Street
    	Marlborough, Mass
    	01752
    	617 481-8147

    	formerly Steve's Bicycle Shop on Hosmer St.
    
    	There is also a change of style, he's moving up the range by
    quite a bit, i.e. away from the $200 bikes and BMX stuff and toward
    the $1K bikes and decent component groups.  I dropped in there last
    night, didn't buy anything, but liked the new store.

	This is a note for anyone interested in finding a good deal/good shop for future reference or for someone specifically interested in Balance MTBs. WheelSuckers Bicycles (Concord Stage Rd., Weare NH, 603.529.3372) wants to move the last of their `94 inventory of Balance MTBs before the `95s arrive. Here's what's available (they're all 17" frames & include 6 tune-ups and 1 water bottle w/cage): Bikes Bucks AL450 w/bar ends, STX-SE 682.99 AL450 w/Manitou Sport, STX-SE 909.99 AL550 w/Answer PROforx, LX 972.99 AL750 w/Manitou 3, XT 1,401.99 FS-Pro w/Manitou Sport, XT 1,688.99 XR450 w/bar ends, STX-SE 591.99 XR350 w/bar ends, STX 490.99 The first group (ALxxx & FS-Pro) are the aluminum framed models. The FS-Pro is Balance's full-suspension model...it's light & a low- swingarm design (i.e. active suspension)...uses elastomer struts as seat stays in the rear (if you're familiar w/Manitou's full suspension design, this one is _very_ similar). The XRxxx models are full CRO-MO (frame & fork). IMHO all show good to excellent construction in frames & wheels, the spec isn't bad either. If you call or drop in at WheelSuckers, tell `em Greg sent ya. Maybe that'll help me get a great deal on the `95 FS-750 I'm currently drooling over. >;v) -Greg
