I use to hang out there in the 1990s. and here and there in the 2000's and i found these on the web back in the mid 2000s...passing them along

Very cool!
Fortunately, I was able to get Fabers before they closed/burned it down.
We stopped there, on our way up to the first Rolling Relics, San Francisco ride.
It was a very memorable experience.

Anthony and Alex schooled me in schwinnology!
Faber's bike shop was the mekkah of all bike shops!
I remember rummaging through the piles of bike as a kid. I built my first Schwinn Spitefire from parts I traded with Fabers.
Man I miss that place! I was back in the bay area in 2011 and got some pics before it was burned down.
Anthony gave me one of the old cigarette pack advertising back in the days.

@SJ_Biker you brought back allot of good memories, thanks for sharing that.

I'm glad to see that the building is being restored. Now only if it was Faber's bike shop again

i'd say catching on fire was a blessing. that building was in sad shape even before the fire. had a definite lean to it.
