Prices for a truing were $10 versus $25 that I've been paying and tune-ups forget it, $50 versus $120. We continued our trek to East Boston aka War Zone Mine Field, and ended in Revere Beach then took the Blue Line home. Feels good to be home and take a HOT shower, its freezing out.

p.s.

converted my UO9 to fixed gear, hell of a work out on my legs, its a good learning experience for me right now.
JB, Brilliant ride and sweet bikes. I specially like the multimode route with your Blue Line return.

Some great posts here with Saugus Iron Works, Masi, Ogden, llama, Medford passage and Revere Beach. And I was worried winter might be numbing.
