Bicycle

I just got a bike! Unfortunately, it came in a box and I put it together with some help from friends. Can you all recommend a reliable bike shop in the area where I can

A) Have them give it a once over to make sure it's all built correctly and the brakes are working, etc.
B) Sell me a few accessories

As far as I can tell, a lot of retail bike shops won't service bikes that they didn't sell, and bike service places don't sell retail items!

Any suggestions would be appreciated and cheap is GOOD.

It depends on what kind of bike you have!

For a commuter bike, Broadway is the best.

For a racing bike, Ace Wheelworks on Elm or Quad in Arlington Heights.

For a mountain bike probably Ace or Paramount or Park Cycles, on Somerville Ave.

For a cruiser, Paramount or Park, I think.

I'm a cruiser kinda gal. With the overwhelming response, I think Paramount gets it.
