I was up in the DC metro area last weekend and stopped by Freshbike (Arlington) Friday. When I lived in metro D.C. I purchased a number of Assos items from this shop and hoped to purchase more Friday.
Shop still had a lot of Assos (and other bikes/clothes) inventory but had nothing I wanted.
Plenty of unknowns but for me confirms what I've been hearing, road bicycle business is down.
