We've got two. One in this town and one in the next town over. The owners are twin brothers. For a long time I thought it was the same guy.
They usually have what I want or can get it. Sometimes reality strikes and we just have to admit that my obscure old bikes require a broader database. But they're old enough to remember my bikes.
I needed an axle for a 72 Continental a while back and I called and got the counter kid. When I got there he said, "oh yeah, you're the guy with the really old Schwinn". The owner and I both had a good laugh at him. I curtly informed him that '72 was not really old.
