ACME Bicycle Co. based out of Brooklyn, New York came on board as a Moots Dealer in 2015. Since then they have hosted Moots social nights and demos from their shop.
In the short history of the shop they have quickly developed a following that reaches near and far. We posed a few questions to the two owners of the shop and this is what they would like you to know about them and the operation.

ACME Bicycle Co.
Moots consistently exceeds ACME’s client expectations (no small feat when dealing with New Yorkers). Moots’ no-nonsense approach to bike building resonates with ACME’s clients. The cachet, build and ride quality, and longevity of their bikes is unmatched. For ACME, bike fit is always the first priority. Moots not only has numerous stock sizing options, but also the ability for completely custom geometry. This ensures that ACME is always able to prioritize fit and therefore the client experience.
