Chris Kvale's bicycle framebuilding shop burned out in MN
Seen on bicycle forum Velocipede Salon:
Chris Kvale's bicycle framebuilding shop https://www.chriskvalecycles.com suffered major collateral damage as a result of the May 28th, 2020 riots in Minneapolis. Fire, smoke and water ruined much of his equipment. The entire (large) building that houses his shop is likely a complete loss.
$10, $20... anything would be deeply appreciated.
We all want Chris to keep building and repairing the frames we love, so if it feels appropriate to contribute a little something to this campaign, it would be great.
Of course, physical labor will also be welcome when a site is chosen for his new headquarters!

Senseless. Just awful to see how violence begets destruction.
Hopefully he is able to salvage more than initially thought and can get back into working.
