Velo Cult is the only shop I frequent down here in the San Diego region. They are great guys, very eclectic and fun, and true cycling advocates and enthusiasts. Owner Sky Boyer (how's that for a cool cycling name?) loaned me a part from one of his personal Chris King headsets to help me get my Rivendell Roadeo on the road recently; that's the kind of guy he is and the kind of shop they are. He's an accomplished mountain bike and cyclocross racer, too, and "wise beyond his age," as he's pretty darn young to have such a great shop and such a broad view of cycling. (You wouldn't believe their "warehouse" - seriously, they could charge for tours. Their shop's retail floor is totally fascinating with the most amazing collection of interesting bikes for sale. That selection is just 1/10th as amazing as what's in their warehouse. It's like Velo Cult is a magnet or vortex for funky, one-of-a-kind, and "impossible to find" classic bikes of a very wide variety, even mountain bike tandems from the early 80s, just to name one niche they are also into.)
They also founded and moderate http://www.sdbikecommuter.com, which covers all types of cycling, not just commuting. They also were the main proponents of the recent San Diego Tweed Ride. They have a very image-heavy blog and are developing an online museum on it and their website: http://www.velocult.com/ Sky and employee / photographer Anthony even came over to our house a while back to photograph most of my bikes, frames, and some of the more interesting and/or odd-ball parts for the museum. (The shots are not online yet, but I'll feel better about selling 90% of this stuff when they are documented online in their museum.) Any trip anywhere near San Diego by a cyclist must include a stop at Velo Cult! - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA http://www.XO-1.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
