I mean no offense at all, but I'm going to surmise that you are closer to 50 than to 25 years old.

If I'm completely wrong and you're a 29-year-old with two kids, busting your hump to make your mortgage payment, keep looking for some franchise-boutique that employs hapless teenagers who are compelled to clean and do a passable job of adjusting your bike for single-digit-per-hour. But if you expect a rich, satisfying experience, I'd start down The Path. I did, and I don't regret it at all.

For the rest, you can check it yourself and if there's a problem take it in - no need to pay somebody $150 to tell you your bike is fine.


If you're closer to 29 than 50 don't let that old man tell you what to do!


If you're in fact closer to 50, he speaks wisdom.
