Default Branford Bike burnt down

Sorry if this has already been posted here.

Summary: Branford Bike has been destroyed by
fire and they will not be rebuilding. I have
bought stuff from them before. Only recently
I recommended their Le Tour chain lube in
another thread. They had a great collection
of odd stuff. Buggar.

To follow my own post, I've just looked through
the story and pictures of after the fire. What
a tragedy. Molten conglomerates of campags brakes,
hubs etc. A Record BB, CF all fluffed up.
Amazing and awful stuff.

Now that's what I call an overkill:

A Massive Wild Fire...
engulfed our community in Emigrant, Montana on Sunday, July 30th. Our shop was completely destroyed. We tried to save our inventory by placing it in an on site bomb shelter. The intense inferno melted glass and aluminum and turned concrete to powder. Our retail store, warehouse, our home and the homes of several neighbors were little more than piles of white ash and twisted metal on a black and barren landscape. Fortunately no lives were lost.
