text: Have not been in a while not really a bike nut or even a regular rider but I have to relate a story to tell you what kind of a place this is I inherited a bike my dad had purchased in college and hard a part break I knew that Kraynicks would be the only place able to help even though at the time there were still Schwinn authorized dealers in the area nnHeres the exchange nnMe I have an old Schwinn threespeed probably from or and it has this little washer with a raised part that fits in the groove between the fork and the rear axle That part broke nnHim A Collegiate or a Speedster nnMe amazed Speedster nnAt which point he turned around to a wall of tiny drawers that seemed to stretch from floor to ceiling and appeared to have no intelligible labeling pull open a single drawer and produce the part I needed It cost something like cents nnPlaces like this pretty much do not exist anymore the shop is like a museum of bicycle parts and the upper stories of the building are reportedly just as full If the recurring rumors of its closing Mr Kraynicks retirement are any indication it may not be here forever FIND ANY EXCUSE to get here while it is still around
