Here is the quote:

"...going by what I heard not long ago from a BOB at our other shop."

The caps and the "a" before the name made me think BOB is a descriptive term, and not a person's name.

Bob is always the name to use when you are relating that someone told you something. Where have you guys been?

If BOB is making the bike more expensive it could be Bling On Bike.

Maybe we could start a thread on where Bob is going next on that pink Huffy with the seat too low. If he comes by your house let us know, will you?

Wasn't Bob the name of the shop owner in Maynard Hershon's old column, "Tales from the Bike Shop?"

Don't forget their brother Matt.

He spends most of his time out on the front porch.
