Neal, if you're going to be in Holyoke in the next couple weeks, that'd be perfect. A potential limitation is that I don't have any workspace in my tiny attic apartment--most of the work would have to be done outside in our ample driveway, which could get mighty cold, depending on what winter feels like doing. I also don't have one of those fancy bike repair stands, but maybe I could rig something up.
I work Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, but any other day of the week would work for me. How about I email you (what's your email?) when I receive the parts in the mail? At that point, if you're still up to it--and no pressure if you're not--we can work out a time to meet up.
I live right off highway 91, which you probably know is close to Holyoke but not too too convenient off the Mass Pike.
Thanks, Rachel
