Last week Bill and I visited a shop new to us and unknown by the the Bobs, V, Kim, etc. so I thought I'd post a little bit about it because I think this shop is a keeper.
You want to drool over Pegorettis? There are at least a dozen on the floor.
You want a Brooks saddle? There was a wide range, including a green one, on the shelves waiting to be fondled. There were also a few Brooks saddle bags.
Nitto bars? Yep.
All things fixie and track? Yep, including some drop dead gorgeous lugged steel track frames built by the former owner -- and they're cheap.
Engraved leather bar protectors for track/fixie/SS bikes? Yep - and I'm waiting for the guy to call me so we can talk design. I need one for the Milwaukee.
They have Capoforma clothing, mostly for men, but at least it wasn't the standard PI stuff. And the Bergamo toe covers (http://www.uplandsg.com/bergamo/07w_NeoToeCover.htm)I've been coveting - these have ankle straps.
They do carry Cervelo, Giant and Burley but you can tell their heart is in high end or track steel.
Nice shop dog and a Mikkelsen fit bike (http://www.mikkelsenframes.com/photos.html)- my bike shop has several times given me a recommendation for them as a fitter in the bay area.
Cool store. It's not the run of the mill chain store kind of place.
