I agree. They usually employ amateur racers that are doing the OJT thing. They do eventually learn the trade, just in time to either be picked up by a pro team or leave the business altogether. I bought a "restored" Torpado from one such person. Now he's working as a grease monkey at a oil change place. I assume that the low pay finally got to him! BTW, the Torpado was essentially a real mess of goofed up parts. The one thing the guy did was to put on quick releases for the center pull Universals. That was a nice touch. Otherwise, I go to the one shop that has "old guys" to work on the things that I can't possibly do myself. I had a fixed cup on a Peugeot that wouldn't come off and needed the threads chased. I refuse to purchase $500 in tools to do a job that will rarely come my way.
