Thanks everyone for chiming in on cool Chicago shops! Sounds like Cyclesmithy and Wastyns are the "must-see" places. If anyone knows of any cool bike-related stuff in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois feel free to contact me off list!

Yes, definitely a piece of history. I also have pics I took there, although it was maybe 6 years ago. (I wonder if they are still in that same location?)

I second Cycle Smithy and would also recommend Oscar Wastyn<http://www.wastyn.com/cater.htm>. They have an awesome collection of paramounts (tandems, track, mixte, road) hanging around the shop. Although their current stock isn't too neat, and their employees surly, i think its worth a visit. Although maybe a little further OT, Yojimbo's Garage is also worth a peek, if just for the experience. They've got a beautiful huffy/serotta hanging above their front door and lots of jewel-like njs-type things.
