High Gear in Longmont is closing it's doors. Buzz, the owner, told me that they sold 60 bikes in 9 hours on Saturday. The items of interest to CR list members are probably the shop tools and perhaps some inventory. The store was pretty well cleaned out on Sat. and Sun.. Buzz is taking closed silent bids on a Campy tool kit in it's wood case and a Phil Wood spoke cutter/threader.

I'm going to miss these guys. They recently built a set of wheels for my Viking using wood rims and after 100 miles they are still perfect. Much better job of wheel building than that "pro" shop in Boulder.
