I visited both of the San Diego locations. I didn't buy much from them because by the time Sky opened the second location I already owned most of the kind of stuff he sold due to my long-time appreciation and patronage of Rivendell. I brought a few new/re-entry riders to Velo Cult and it was always a fun place to visit and bring newbies who were put off by other shops' race bikes and lycra vibe.
I was sorry that Sky moved to Portland and I wonder if he would have been better-off trying to expand his foothold in San Diego rather than starting all over in a new town.
