yeah, i wanted to do that, but since it was gonna have to be re-taped, too, i figured i would save myself the sweat and take it back to the shop on the 'principle' issue... the manager was bummed that the bike left the store that way and had it done right, and done right away.... see before and afters attached. and many thanks for the feedback guys...
