There's a smaller place located near me, about half the size. I've always gone there to look around and dream about what could be found if someone took the time to sort through everything. However, it's unfortunate that, at least in the one near me, they're quite reluctant to part with any of it, and the prices are exceedingly high. As far as I understand, it used to be (and to some extent still is) a cycle shop. The owners are semi-retired and generate income through repair work, but over time, the bike parts have turned into more of a collection.
