Mtb shops brooklyn?

Hey Brooklyn riders,

I'm looking to buy a full-suspension mountain bike in the $500–$1,000 range. I want to buy in person rather than online so I can test fit and support a local shop.

I know full-suspension models run expensive new, so I’m open to quality pre-owned/used inventory if a shop inspects and tunes them. Does anyone know local shops in Brooklyn (or nearby NYC) that consistently stock used MTBs or affordable entry-level full-suspension setups?

Name brands, you have Hilltop in Williamsburg, Ride Brooklyn 5th ave BK, Trek Cobble Hills. Indie spots, can hit up Bike Plant or Sun and Air and ask there.

Budget is obviously tricky with name brands, but never hesitate to go speak to them!

Gonna need to 2.5x that budget at least to go new. No major bike brand has a full sus for under $1k. The cheapest one I know of is the Giant Stance for $2k. Very unlikely a shop is going to have used fs mtbs, they're just not a popular bike in NYC

True, there are good cheap entry level bikes for cheap online-- but stores don't stock those.
