Thanks Andy, for starting this fascinating thread!? I had just supposed that the legendary Thomas Avenia shop went out of business when his north-of-Central Park store closed. Had no idea that it continued! ?
This sort of topic reveals the richness of this list and it's members' contributions. (As starkly contrasted by others!)
Thanks

Howdy,?
Anybody know what happened to the Frejus importer in NYC Thomas Avenia? I visited his shop in 1965 when I was on holiday with my parents after high school graduation as I purchased a Frejus bike from Frans Pauwels Kisslers Bike Shop in Portland. Very impressive little hole in the wall shop with literally hundreds of beautiful Frejus frames hanging from the ceiling.?
