So I'm out and about today and pass a shop that I'd never seen before...bikes lined up out front with a few old bikes to the side..and something bright green inside. Bust a U and pull to the side...definitely 80's green.
Walk in and am immediately greated by the owner.
ME: How long have you been here?
Her: Just opened 4 months ago.
Look around and see quite a few oldschool tidbits mixed in with all the new. The Green bike turned out to be a NOS 86/7 Viper with some white pegs on the back and white Odyssey flip ups on the front!
I'll definitely be back there again...but just thought it was bizzare that a new shop would have all that mixed in. I know the area and there had never been a bike shop there. Will get the story on why she has the old stuff next time I drop in.

How many VBMX guys search through his old posts to figure out where he lived and try to find this shop?
Not trying to call anyone out, really, but I KNOW that some people did!!
