Good luck on that 77.

I just had the same parts replaced on my bike a couple weeks ago. The actual repair will probably only take around an hour, but if they are really busy it could easily take longer. I had mine replaced on the spot (crankset, bottom bracket, chain and cassette), but I have a really good relationship with the Service Department at Cycle Loft in Burlington. I actually stood and watched the tech do the work. I was trying to use it as a learning experience. I have found that a good LBS will make accommodations for people who commute or have other time limitations. The key is letting them know your situation and being flexible with waiting or leaving you bike and returning later.

Enjoy your vacation.
