OK,
the promised sneak preview photos are up:

I will probably edit a bit, but I am poooped from my journey. Please excuse rampant mistyped, misspelled and malproped verbage.
Please click on the photos to see MUCH larger panoramas so you can get an idea of the shop size. It is huge. it is great. I could not even wrap my head around it. The only thing that is comprable is when you walk into sunday at the Cirque and you can't decide whether to look at all the goodies for sale or all the great bikes and then boom, your head explodes, and you end up having a trippy conversation with richard sachs and you buy campy shifter rubbers and you look at track bikes for 10 hours and then you only figure out, when you get back home, that you missed the three bessed bikes there...
Anyhow, enjoy the pics, and by all means go, if not for the opening, when you are in the area. Baron is very generous and is filled with great stories and has a truly spectacular shop that, according to him, is lacking huge amounts of great stuff, still in a warehous in europe.
Also there is a pic of the coppi fork crown that is a fillet brazed raleigh style, good stuff.
Finally, at least the latest three entries in the blog have some classic content so check it out: http://tsaleh.blogspot.com
Enjoy
