Especially to see some wonderful NOS COMPLETE era Campagnolo equipped Italian bikes they had for sale and on display. I cannot remember the badge, but the prices seemed reasonable for the quality of workmanship and of course, all the NOS goodies, Benetto tape and all.
The person working told me about buying a warehouse full of stuff, and getting these bikes in the deal.
It was tempting, but since I knew I'd have my Monte, well, I refrained from
having a souvenir from San Francisco shipped home.
I rode there from my outpost in downtown SF last Friday after the last
meeting at the
Green Business Conference expired. It was my second visit - Dale and I
stopped there while visiting SF last year (or was I alone?)
There are 6 shops on Bicycle Row, they the most interesting.
There's more depth that I remember- several NR derailleurs in a case, all
similar, maybe different years.
