Apologies in advance for yet another "NYC Bike Shop" thread...
I'm anxiously awaiting delivery on a new BMC Team Machine (http://www.bmc-racing.com/uploads/tx_wsbikeshop/team_machine_SLT01_B_01.jpg) frame (time has never moved so freakin' slow), which I plan on fitting with parts from my current roadie...I don't have the tools to do it ALL, so I'm going to be lazy and take both bikes to a shop and have them do the complete transfer.
Pretty simple mechanical job, yes, but this thing is my baby - first new bike I've purchased in seven years - and I'm completely obsessing over it and (selfishly/foolishly) want a bike shop that will appear to be equally as obsessed with doing a 100% quality job.
Any recommendations/endorsements?
I had considered going to Sids...tho I did come across a very harsh review (http://www.yelp.com/biz/xypBR3eoLRkKaazb1hOteg)...the reviewer does commend their mechanics, which is the only thing I'm concerned about for this particular project, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt.
