"Just Plain Bikes" - new bikeshop in Larryville?

I was driving down around 55th and butler today and spotted a sign that said "Just Plain Bikes - Coming Soon" on a vacant storefront. Anyone know anything?

yeah, that sign has been there for at least a month... wondering about it too.

Rode past there Tuesday evening on Team Decaf ride. There was a dude in the doorway wrenching on something - a wheel I guess.

I think "soon" is a relative term here. My friend acquired the space about six months ago. His intentions were to open up a repair/custom build bike shop, not retail. The space is now equipped with tools, stands and an assortment of frames and wheels. I'm still waiting. He's still wavering on when he might actually open. We'll see.

how big is the space? just curious.

It's around 1000 sq ft, nice space. It'd be great if a bike shop did open there.

Would he be interested in subletting some space so I can weld up some more tall bikes and other weird things (I have tools and equipment).

Ooh, just recalling - installation of electric assist motors might be a useful service to offer.

I'll be seeing him today and mention it. He's not a big fan of "doing the internet" but this interest might prompt him to take a look. I'll also ask him if it's alright to PM his number to any interested parties.
