A walk down memory lane · c. 75 pieces

The hidden museum.

Behind the tune-up stands and the new-bike wall, The Vault keeps one of the strangest, most personal bicycle collections in the West — around 75 rare, vintage and one-of-a-kind machines, collected and cared for by owner Mike Skoy.

Why it exists

Every bike tells a story

What started as one racer chasing down the BMX bikes of his childhood became a museum that fills every wall and rafter of the shop. Movie props, factory rarities, superhero customs, racing history — cataloged, hung and lit like the treasures they are.

"Every one of these bikes, they tell a story." Mike Skoy — owner & curator

The Las Vegas Review-Journal called it a "hidden gem" — and it's free to browse whenever the shop is open.

Visiting

See it in person

The museum lives inside the shop, woven between the workbenches and the sales floor. There's no ticket booth and no velvet rope — walk in during shop hours, look up, and take your time. Bring the kids; bring your dad; bring the bike you had in 1985 and ask Mike about it.
