NOW you are talking my world! (?)

You MUST go see my funny, nutty friend Gilbert and his mate Susan at their eccentric and neato shop named Northroads:

You are really close to us, only a 45 minutes to the west if you are a fast driver like me.) Let me know when you are coming and I will give you the Grand Tour, even to my home workshop if you have the time. I will show the haunts of the great ones when they have come to the Cirque, this is true vintage buff history!!!

And if you are up for another 45 minute further you MUST see Jeff Archer's First Flight shop in Statesville.

This place is more a museum of cool bike stuff than a bike shop! (That's meant as a compliment, Jeff!)
