Harry missed April Fool's by a little with this: "Checked the archives and could find nothing. Anyone know any good on topic type shops or attractions in Boston that are worth a visit? Frankly, i have trouble believing anything in Boston is worth a visit, but I gotta be there for a wedding this weekend..."
Start with Harris Cyclery in Newton, where the late much-missed Sheldon Brown held forth. Or if that's inconvenient, see some KOF beauties by Peter Mooney at Belmont Wheelworks, also home of living legend John Allis. And if he's back from wintering in New Orleans, Robert Celerier at Ace Wheelworks in Somerville, is amazingly knowledgeable about on-topic stuff.
Oy Vey!
