It's next to the Pagliacci's on the north end of capitol hill.
It's teeny, but the guy in there today was extremely nice and they have lots to drool over (high end Brooks saddles, phil wood bottom brackets, merino wool Campagnolo jerseys, etc.). Best thing IMHO is the collection of bar tape. EVERYTHING under the sun. For all you mega hippies, they even have a rasta red/yellow/black/green stripe combo.

Oh yeah! that's the guy who bought brandford bike after their store burned down from a forest fire! I haven't met him yet but I have heard really stellar things about him and he has a HUGE selection of spare campy parts in his inventory. It's the favorite shop of campyonly.com.
He was supposed to open last spring but just had the window painting up... glad to hear he is open... I have been riding by avery few weeks to see if he was open... kickin!

Ah, excellent, I was wondering when they were going to open to the public.
I'll go add then to the bike map.

Branford is most awesome and we're lucky they chose to move here. No more surfing the Interweb for 8-speed Campy parts. Now I can just stop in!

Sounds like a little shop I work at....
8 speed Campy in stock, Check!
Campy Pro Shop, Check!
Campy Small Parts, Check! I bet I have more than Branford. I'd bet a beer!
Over in West Seattle (aka BFE), Doh!

Already done. I dropped in today and said hello. Very friendly, even before it came up that we were chattering on the board about them. At least one of the people in the shop has been lurking here. [1] We chitchatted about bikes, I looked at some of the bikes in the shop and he admired my Xtracycle.
[1] Hi David!
