Velo Cult

I was in Portland OR. on vacation and visited a place called Velo Cult. It is a unbelievable bike shop/pub/bike museum in the North East section of the city. The owner/collector who's name is Sky, was very cool and gave me the grand tour. Here are a few Pics. and if you ever get a chance to go to Portland this is a must see. I would guess there were around 100 rare bikes hanging from the ceiling like Ritchey's, Merlin's, Yeti's, Bontrager's and more. Unfortunately my phone battery died while taking Pics. and was only able to take these few :evil: Sky sold off his road bike collection to start this place :shock:

He also sold some really nice vintage MTB's at the time as well, including a brazed Columbus Max Santana Moda that sold for a song on ebay. Still kicking myself for not getting in on the bidding for that one.
 
VC is awesome. Pics from a couple recent visits:

If you go and Sky is there ask for a tour. In the basement there is a movie theater, a 70's themed bachelor pad/VIP room and another 50 or so bikes.

I asked him if he had any old school parts for sale and he showed me a room with file cabinets with thousands of of old parts. My wife and I are moving to Bend OR and I told him I would definitely be back :D
