Good news for vintage affecianatos
The Gilmores (Loose Screws Vintage bicycle parts)have sold their website to one Steve Arlint an avid vintage bike fan.
Steve will have the site up and running soon so folks needing those vintage small parts will have a source once again.

Good news indeed - I missed having Loose Screws as a resource for those C&V friendly parts that no one else seemed to carry. All the best to the new owner.

Loose screws has saved me a lot of time and frustration over the years, when I got the notice I was very happy.

Same here -- I understood Jeff and Jean's desire to retire, but I was disappointed because I had enjoyed checking out the Loose Screws site and buying hard-to-find parts from them. They ran a first-class, customer-oriented business that filled a niche, and I am glad to see that this tradition is likely to continue under new ownership.
