Ditto... it's hard enough to work on a bike without third-, fourth-, and fifth-hands. And now you want me to take pictures? What am I, Shiva?

I'm my own mechanice for 26 years

Been wrenching on bikes since I was 13. Built my first road bike at 15. A full Campy equipped OLMO. Attached is a pic of my shop at home where I do custom builds, maintenance, repairs and more when my real job ends for the day. Nice to get paid for my hobby.
