Mr. Pullin must have been in his 70s. His shop, housed in an old building on the south side of the little downtown part of town, was redolent with aged things - bikes and bike parts, the wooden floors, and a collection of posters put out by various bike companies. <br /><br />Back then, I was a student at the state college, and though I don't recall meeting him, Steve O'Bryan was a high school student working at the store in the late 1960s. I left Chico for good in 1972 and didn't make a return visit to Pullin's Cyclery until 1999. The store location had moved, across the street, into another old building more than faintly reminiscent of the one I remembered. <br /><br />Mr. O'Bryan ended up taking over the shop for Mr. Pullin, in a way becoming the old man's son. In a way he freely admits to, Mr. O'Bryan became Mr. Pullin.<br /><br />Pullin's Cyclery isn't a pro shop. It's an old bike shop in a college town. Like Mr. Pullin, Mr. O'Bryan likes restoring old bikes and spinning stories. Old bikes and new line the walls, standing on the old wooden floors. The store, in short, exudes the kind of charm found in places like Laguna Cyclery.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637555419320105824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-68273918939006049322009-07-16T21:25:11.370-05:002009-07-16T21:25:11.370-05:00great post, its great to see my old shop on yer si...great post, its great to see my old shop on yer site, I'll definitely be back.

Since he moved to California almost 10 years ago, I have yet to discover a shop in Colorado that boasts a man of his talents, or his knowledge. Let it be known that several years ago I flew from Denver out to Southern Cal to have Tim build my new Turner. It was well worth the trip.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490804738828985427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-9803371014395749942009-07-14T14:22:18.038-05:002009-07-14T14:22:18.038-05:00Cool,I didn't know there was a bike shop there...Cool,I didn't know there was a bike shop there, i have been looking for an alternative to a Un-Pro shop in Dana Point.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407481251921772152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-53714184634379673032009-07-14T07:29:39.351-05:002009-07-14T07:29:39.351-05:00Like a fine wine, a good shop is hard to find and ...Like a fine wine, a good shop is hard to find and harder to let go.
