1256.0. "Recomendations for a bike shop in Ney Jersey " by MEMORY::GOODWIN (in a spasm of lucidity...) Thu Jul 20 1989 15:24

	Can anyone reccomend a bike shop in the Orange, NJ area. I have a 
	friend down there who is looking for an entry level racing bike and
	the shops she has been going into have been saying "You want to 
	spend $350, well this bike cost $350". They are just trying to 
	move a bike off the floor and not spending any time trying to fit 
	the bike or even determining the correct frame size.

    I bought my Cannondale and a TREK at Marty's Reliable Bikes in
    Morristown and I am very glad of the purchases. Marty is helpful
    and will give you straight answers. I know this isn't Orange but
    its close
    
    
    
    
    good luck

    The only cycle shop in North Jersey that I went to was CYCLESPORT in
    Park Ridge. The address is listed below:
    
    CYCLESPORT
    Depot Square, 1 Hawthorne Ave
    Parkridge, NJ 
    201-391-5269
    
    I was there about 1 1/2 years ago. They carry some good stuff but I 
    do not recall the brand of bikes they sold.

1256.3Try <Chatham> Bike ShopLEVERS::GRIESMERWed Jul 26 1989 20:528
    I always used the bike store on Route 24 in Chatham (I haven't been
    a Garden State resident for three years).  There were a couple of
    very knowledgeable people working there, a father-daughter team.
    It should be fairly convenient from the Oranges on 24. 
    
    Good Luck,

Looking through the prior "SHOP" notes, I found this one.

I will second the Marty's recomendation (many years later.)  Never bought a
bike there, but several journeys there for parts and service always left me
very satisfied.  Another place, further South, is Sports People.  Its actually
2 separate shops, staffs (bike and ?ski?), with one owner.  Its in Bedminster,
on 202.  They always had the parts I needed, and were pleasant to deal with.
