Boy - the inside of that shop looks a lot like one we used to have here in Cleveland, Ohio (Cleveland Heights, actually). Marvin's Hi Tech Bikes was piled with old steel, complete or in parts, components in all states of repair or disrepair all over every horizontal surface. Most bikes, even the new ones, were peppered with chips, scratches, and other shop wear from being piled one on another. If you caught Marvin in the kind of mood where he didn't mind, you could spend hours picking through piles to find real treasures -- then get frustrated in trying to actually get him to sell anything to you. It's gone now, but I miss that place.
