Martin's Bike Shop Ephrata, PA

[yoothgeye]

On vacation here in Lancaster county, I looked up this bike shop, I went there and bought a half link, a 32 tooth chainring, and a chain. Very helpful and knowledgeable, a Christian business. They sell new and used bikes and parts and they have a museum! Check out the photos, this is definitely a place to go if you are in the area.

Way cool. Thanks for sharing. Did they get you hooked up on your parts?

I see 2004 Tour de France Coca-Cola water bottles on the shelf. Hope they're not collectable, cuz I'm still using mine. How's that for a long lasting, quality water bottle?

Like I said, I bought a 32tooth single speed sprocket to use as a chain tensioner on my tall bike (the 28tooth started falling out), I got a half link (which would probably fix the chain tensioner without a tensioner), and a spare chain (in case the chain breaks on my build-off bike again). Their prices were very fair.

I didn't ask, but the collection would suggest it.

When she was waiting in the Excursion the first day when I went to actually buy some parts I rushed in and out, but when we went back today she was at a play so I took my time.

My head is about to explode those bikes are awesome and it is causing me to type in run on sentences and on and on and on and did I mention how awesome all those bikes are and that my head is going to explode?

I was about to explode because of the velvet ropes and perimeter alarms (yes really) keeping me from the bikes.

Wow that's quite the water bottle collection. A few nice bikes too.

If I'd known that people would pay attention to the water bottles I would've tried to get photos of the entire collection... wow!
