The History of the Gear West Pig Out Sale

We (Brian Knutson and me, Jan Guenther) invested $11,000 to stock basic bike repair items. A sprinkling of Bridgestone bikes and a few Fischer skis rounded out the offerings. I remember our first sale, a pair of padded bike gloves and a shift cable. The building had a connecting door to Dominos and all order mistakes were ours to eat.
