There is a guy who works at the Bike Line on Delaware Ave. He's been a mechanic in the city since I was in my 20s. He's also the guy who did some seriously bad work on my IF back in the mid-2000s when he was a Breakaway on Chestnut St. I wouldn't let him look at a bile of mine.
They cashed in their chips, I don't blame the owner(s) for selling out. I am told they may have kept a couple stores as "Bike Line" but all the ones around me (West Chester, Exton, Devon, Wayne) are now Trek company stores.
