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 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...

Hello everyone! Does any of you is at Houston or knows any bike co-op at it? We are travelling at the end of the month to Houston and we are looking on buying bike parts that are difficult to find on Mexico to take bak home and we will like it a lot to buy them form a local co-op. So, let us know if you know some awesome proyect at H-Town to pass by and buy some bicycle parts
Saludos
