Tourist visiting Chicago and loves fixed gear bikes

A friend needs to know where to send a client from France who has a huge love for fixed gear bikes. Where can I tell him to go to get unique parts or accessories? Doesn't matter what hood but think high end!

I think he's looking for something to take back home and say "I got this in Chicago?"

Any thoughts? He's only here for one day so your quick responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chainlinkers!!!!!

You might find something at Yojimbo's Garage, 1310 N. Clybourn.

Why not tell him to talk with Owen Lloyd. He can show him his frame-building space and some of the bikes he's built. I'm sure that would be "Chicago unique" :) Besides, I heard rumor that he's been riding one of those Sturmey-Archer S3X 3-speed fixed hubs. Maybe he built a frame for it too? ...probably too perfect for your request... call me an optimist! haha.
