Cupertino Bike Shop has been associated with ROMP since 1991, when the first ROMP Swap Meet was held. The Swap Meet occurs every April and typically features a large selection of bike parts, frames, clothing, accessories, tools, and used bikes – some from local big name manufacturers like Bell Sports, Ibis, and Steelman. Next time you visit the Cupertino Bike Shop for a tube, chain, or even a new bike, take some time to examine the large collection of bicycle memorabilia displayed between the bike parts. The walls are covered in pins, signed photos and jerseys, the shop’s original sign hangs from the ceiling, and Greg Lemond’s first professional racing bike hangs above the door. Cupertino Bike Shop was opened in 1953, and started selling Gary Fisher mountain bikes in 1982. Today the shop carries mainly Specialized mountain bikes, as well as a large selection of road bikes, tandems, and bicycle parts and accessories. Vance Sprock, the owner of the
shop, is a road cyclist of some renown - Vance came third in the US National
Road Championship (Junior Men) in
