Bike Warehouse was still called "Bike Warehouse" in 1980. And, it
became Bike Nashbar a few years later, and my memory suggests the
1980-82 time period. And then, apparently, REI took a chunk out of
Nashbar :-snip-

Arni Nashbar changed the name when 'Bike Warehouse' was found unsuitable for trademark protection.
