My wife and I just moved back to the Seattle area (Renton) after an absence of 25 years.  One of the first tasks is to find a good bent shop.  (I may need to add a 3x9 to my tadpole to save my knees on the hills.  My wife already has one on her GTC.)  Angle Cycles in Kent was too busy and neither very friendly nor helpful.  Any suggestions?  A decent bike shop that does not discriminate against 3-wheel bents would be fine.

More questions to come...
Thanks.

... I think you definitely should give Angle Lake another try. Talk to Dale and make clear what you want. ... I think he has an HP Velo Scorpion now, too. ......

Larry, I've bought two recumnents from Dale Clark and have found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He is severly handicapped by trying to run the shop...
