I'm pretty handy, as are most all the guys I know. We can all do some carpentry, mechanical work, know how to clean a house and cook, too!! Really, between me and my friends, there's very little we can't do on our own. If we need a little help, there's always a buddy and we swap favors. Isn't that how it's done? |
Yup you read that right! Then they complain about the $6.99 labor fee. Bf says not to gripe bc they just bought us a burger LOL. I especially hate the Vittoria tires with the extra tight beads, and trispokes and aerosokes labor costs more! I hate changing those out! But the thing that gets me is they ask me where "the guy" is bc I couldn't
possibly know how to do it if they don't!
btw, it just happened again. The customer asked if he could talk to "they guy" again, and when bf came out, he asking him if he changed to green rims would it be too much green?
I mean come on!

BTW, my bike is a 1973 Peugeot PX10-E. I bought it new and it's still in cherry shape. It's not completely original....I've changed the rims out to accommodate clinchers instead of sew-ups and now have sealed bearing hubs. I put on some side-pull brakes and have fingertip shifters. Other than that, it's as it was made...a real classic.

That sounds absolutely beautiful! You need to post a pic! I would like to find a vintage road bike in a small enough frame for me, for now I ride fixed gear. I custom built my bike. I love my vintage Brooks.
Here's mine.
