Muni Stores in Bay Area?

General

Are there any shops in the San Francisco Bay Area that sell Muni’s? I would
like to get the feel of one or two before I plop down the cash. Thanks

I don’t think there are any MUni stores anywere. Mountain unicycles, with
very few exceptions, are not available in stores. Most bike shops have
either 0, 1, or rarely 2 types of unicycle, and both are invariably
lower-priced models.

Were you at Stanford on Sunday? We had two DM ATUs (me, Bronson Silva) and
two Telfords (Geoff Faraghan, Rob Bowman) there. If you ask your questions
to this newsgroup, you’ll likely get lots of answers. Or, you might hook up
with the guys that do rides most weekends in the Santa Cruz/Bay areas, and
have a look at their hardware.

Good luck,

parts.” - Greg Harper on cuisine

Wow!
My almost-local bike shop must be a dream then because they have:

Avenir 20"
Avenir 24"
Savage 5’ giraffe
Schwinn 20"
Schwinn 24"
Coker 36"
Plus replacement Viscount seats
(and Ridable Bicycle Replicas Penny Farthing; VERY cool in real life as
opposed to pictures)

P.S. The bike shop is Martin’s in Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Truly your bike shop is a rare one indeed!
