This is a total bummer. I started shopping there as a freshman at Cal the first year they were open on campus. They have been my go to LBS ever since. This, combined with the sad closing of Bicycle Odyssey in the same year is a major blow to SF Bay Area bike culture and parts availability. The Trek, Specialized and Giant chain stores that pass as bike shops these days have almost nothing I want to buy and mechanics who know nothing about older bikes. You take your bike into those shops and more often than not will be greeted with "you need a new bike".
