MIssing Link closing in Berkeley - whither the LBS

[Berkeleyan]

Well, the RBW link may simply be that Missing Link was a Bridgestone dealer, back when my wife bought her XO-5 there in 199x. I've patronized them for bits and parts throughout the years, and counted on them being there. But now, with the tower-ization of downtown Berkeley, they've lost their lease and will shutter by end of year.

Damn, such a loss. For me, for local cyclists, for anyone who appreciates the funky and esoteric charm that small shops bring to communities.
