Chrome has a combined office and storefront space in the heart of San Francisco, a space that plays host to the everyday operations along with walk-in sales and special events like the September 18th benefit show for The Bike Kitchen that was unceremoniously broken up by a few undercovers not fond of the carrying on that spilled into the street. 
Inside the store you'll find closeout products and limited colors not seen elsewhere, along with a large display and selection of the recently introduced Chrome shoes. Look for a review once we get some time on the shoes, but the visit shed some more light on their construction—a sticky rubber sole with a nylon reinforcement so the shoe doesn't flex too much while pedaling is one of the key design features, along with a heavy weatherproof Cordura upper. Reinforced toe and heel padding address some of the common problems of cycling in street shoes while keeping them sensible looking for off the bike. Other changes for 2010? Look for the shoes in women's sizing, the Ivan roll-top bag that we reviewed earlier this year is slated to get a little bit bigger and some new men's and women's clothing is currently in development.
