To elaborate on fruitbat's comment, I popped by looking for a tube this afternoon and the shop as I last saw it was no more.
Odd bits and bobs everywhere and the shop floor pretty much empty. An old guy and his wife were pottering about and I asked them what had become of TdV; he told me that most of it had gone back to Holland as the shop wasn't doing the business it needed to survive, and he was clearing/chucking the rest out. Pointed me upstairs and told me to have a look to see if I could find what I wanted, or if there was anything else that caught my eye I could have it, but alas I'd turned up too late because three minutes later he said he was almost done and I had to head off =\ Lots of rims left out front, lots of handlebars upstairs, a disc wheel of somesort by the front door, that's all I could really take in (and my mind was on other things).
