Thanks for the info
Cycle & Sports sounds right, if I recall. I don't remember a Mrs. Gregory, although she owned it I guess, but I do remember the wonderfully slightly jaded GM. Again, he had an Albert Eisentraut aura (appearance if not persona, but perhaps a little of that, too.) Awfully cool place, at least for the ambience. The nicer stuff, as I recall, was hidden away upstairs...
