Pablo,

It's a bit outside of Boston, but check out Belmont Wheelworks in Belmont, Peter Mooney's store, and also International Bicycle on 89 Brighton Ave in Allston  of off Commonwealth Ave and ask for Jose and tell him I sent you. His brother works at Community Bicycle at 496 Tremont St in downtown Boston and may have some KOF stuff. Both Jose and his brother might be good scources for other stores to check out. If you call these shops ahead of time, it might be a good idea, because these shops can be very busy.

Also check out the Larz Anderson Museum in Brookline, MA where our annual bike show is held as they have a small but interesting collection of Highwheelers and other very early period bikes and nice pretty nice autos as well.

Also in Cambridge, right outside of Boston check out  Menotomy Vintage Bicycles, Inc. The website address is:  http://oldroads.com/bicycles_for_sale.asp. If you can click on this and get the location. Ask for Vin Vullo and again mention I sent you over, he's a good guy, and might have more stores for you to visit.

Also I'm not sure of the location, but there is a website and all for a Boston Bicycle Museum. Peter Weigle's shop is also in Lime, Conn south of Boston, as well as Richie Sachs Cycles. Both are builders much in the KOF mode.
