Bikes: fixed gear recumbent trike

Customer walked back over, said he'd forgotten to tell us that he used the red Loc-Tite instead of lube when he put it together so that it would hold.



We told him that it was more or less permanently on there and that there was nothing we could do. He shrugged and walked out with his bike. Some people have more money than brains.
nah... just take the bottom bracket area up to 500 deg... all good
