I bought it from Discovery (who became Big Wheels). Anybody know if that store reopened, or how I could track down data the owner may still have??? Thanks.

Charlie has sold me both my (subsequently stolen) Hoo Koos over the last many years plus loved them with good service. More importantly the guys working there have always LIVED cycling and so they know what they're doing and know what they're talking about (like shopping Whole Earth Provisions rather than REI). What this loss means is we're losing a REAL bike shop and, as posts on other forums have noted, the fake bike shops are still popping up. Alas. The irony here is sad...less bikes and bike loving owners...more homage to corn and the automobile. Sigh. -paige Sucky!
