Redbeard Bikes

A bicycle shop, Redbeard Bikes, opened at 165 Front Street in Dumbo last week. The shop replaces the former NOS Men’s store, which is relocating to a larger space at 81 Front Street. The hurricane pushed back the launch and construction of the store, but they’re open for business. Owner Ilya Nikhamin says that they will be selling performance bicycle brands, offering top-notch road titanium and carbon-fiber bikes such as Lynskey Performance Design and Parlee as well as Brompton folding bikes.

They will also sell parts and accessories (helmets, lights, pedals, shoes, and seats) and handle repairs. Welcome to Dumbo, Ilya!
