Cool! Yeah my lbs is awesome, and the guy there has always hooked it up with the labor and taught me how to do things myself. Well unforntunatly he had to close his door, and now just works on bike trailers out of his garage. He would still help though.

As far as the globe goes, i like it ( i think it was part of specialized, and broke off). At the same time though, it would be fun to learn more by building off of something like a kilo. When i get back home i will have to check the other stores in town.
