Uncle Jacob was listed here as an electronics/pawn shop, but it's actually a bike shop. You can still see some oldschool record players and cassete decks piled against the back wall, but that's about it. Maybe it was their former line of business?
As a bike shop it's pretty good. There are lots of options whether you're looking a new bike or a used one. The prices are very reasonable and they also do bike repairs and sell accessories. This is obviously no MEC, so don't go expecting to find the latest Cervelo or Dahon models (though you might get lucky).
It's certainly a good place to go bargain shopping for a vintage bike -- there were some pretty nice ones there. That was my initial idea, but I ended up getting a new one (a black Diamondback Transporter) for a pretty decent price. The staff was really helpful, specially Mr. Mao (I think he's the owner, but I could be wrong).
