Shop Visit: FYXO Hub03.01.2012 | PERMALINK

Like the branding, the Fyxo HUB hours are minimal.

But when they're open, you enter a curated center for cycling inspiration.

Museum-quality bikes line the shelves.

Flowers explode with color.

When you ride to the shop, there's a spot to park your bike, no matter how evil it is.

Blakey's Concorde was in the shop while I was visiting.

What a bike!

When cycling is your life...

... you appreciate the beauty in nature.

But let's be honest, you have to sell something to keep a space like this.

And everything is for sale...

... you've just got to have the right numbers.

Whether you want to start from a frame and build it up period correct...

... and he's got plenty.

Or perhaps you fancy a complete?

Products are displayed amongst Andy's photos.

They liven the museum-esque space up with speed and motion.

Andy's C-Record Merckx Pista is on display.

And every corner has something special.

Coat hanger anyone?

Australia's cycling history is on display.

Is your appetite wet yet?

More frames and bikes for sale.

Lining every available space.

Merchandise lines the shelves.

Andy's office holds the real gems.

And his favorite icons.

Smiles from gallery sets of yesteryear.

And frames awaiting to be shipped out.

If he likes you, he'll pour you a flat white or a long black.

Let me just preface this by stating that I’ve long respected and admired the work of Andy White, owner of Fyxomatosis and the FYXO Hub. He’s been a huge inspiration to me, well, since forever. When I saw that he had opened a space behind the world’s best bike shop, Shifter Bikes, I knew great things would come from it. While I was Melbourne for a few weeks, I spent a lot of time at the ‘Hub, watching it spin.

So how is it? See for yourself.

The FYXO Hub’s hours change, so head to the site for information.
