I am new to the city and would like to buy a decent, used road bike (49cm). I don't want to spend a fortune, as I will only need the bike for 5 months. Can anyone suggest stores in NYC or Brooklyn?
Thank you.

Last year, a few SIGlets got good deals on steel Fujis from Toga's rental fleet. Can't hurt to ask.
For carefullly and professionally restored beaters, greatusedbikes.com.
It just so happens that I will be selling a 49cm aluminum Fuji Team w/triple Ultegra in about two to three weeks.
Purchased in 2000, ridden a lot but no crashes, scrached silver paint but structurally sound so far as I know. New Shimano shifters, weighs 18 pounds.
I have to consult with the experts as to the value of the bike, but if you can wait a couple of weeks and are interested, let me know. (I need a couple of weeks to test ride my new Terry bike before parting with the Fuji; I should get it by next weekend.)
