Their website's been shut down and they point you to Nashbar or Performance Bike. Are their real stores still open (e.g. the Santa Monica one) or did they go completely out of business?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for supporting the LBS, but the nearest LBS worth supporting is up in South Lake (shout out to Watta Bike Shop in Meyers yo)

I think they may have been bought out.

IIRC, Performance bought Supergo a few years back, and just maintained the brand, probably until someone realized the cost savings by consolidating them into one name. Late last year they started re-branding Supergo stores as Performance, closed the website and started redirecting you to either Nashbar or Performancebikes.com (which is the same company).

Son1cdeth has it right. Totaly bummer. The Santa Monica store is a few blocks away from me and is now a full Performance store which pretty much blows.
The old one was great. Good deals, good peeps, etc. and now Performance just basically blows.He who has the most fun wins!

No good bike shops in SF. None.
