As the wheels of change push ever farther with lighter, stronger and more hi-tech, we also find ourselves yearning for some of yester-year's better creations. Enter Landmark Vintage, a welcome addition to the many new bicycle shops popping up throughout New York City ready to equip commuters in the current climate of rising gas prices.
Landmark focuses on pre-1980's cruiser bikes, with a particular
affinity for Schwinn models. These beauties start around $200 and go
up from there. We had our eyes on a particularly handsome black and
white number that could have been ours for $650.
A lot of love and care goes into maintenance and restoration but don't think these are museum objects, these bikes are meant to be ridden. So grab a chilly beverage from the in-house slushie machine and take to the highways and bike-ways for a summer of fun.
