Can anyone help please.....?

I'm off to NY in May and wondered if anyone knows of any good bike shops or places where I might find some old school bmx gold... and/or vintage clothes shops(where a random old jersey may
be found for example)/flea markets/swap meets etc etc etc

I know I'm very unlikely to find anything but you know how it is ..... the searching is half the fun

cheers all help really appreciated

kind regards Antony

You're wasting your time going there!!!

The last thing you want to do is ask some random person in the street...

Send a PM to amoebic dysentery...
