Fwd: Houston, anyone?

Read below for an email from one of our rockstr volunteers and native to Houston. If anyone knows, its him! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jonathan Stafford <jonathanrstafford(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 19, 2019, 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [TheThinkTank] Houston, anyone? To: Sterling Stone <sterlingstone(a)gearinupbicycles.org> Hey man. So there's some good news and a lot of bad. First, Your best bet for used parts is to be in town for FRANKEN-BIKE which happens once a … [View More]month and is more like a swap meet. Unfortunately, there isn't a co-op in Houston at all. At least not in the same vein of Gearin Up, Velocity or Phoenix. There is a "community focused" shop called 3RD WARD BIKE SHOP which sells used parts and bikes. But the prices arent all that great...but they arent set in stone either - so you might get lucky. When a friemd of mine was planning a tour he had some luck calling a few shops and asking if thwy had a used parts bin he could dig thru. None of them advertised it but a few let him. Try Bayou City Cycles, Sun and Ski Sports and Bike Barn. Best of luck...
