If you do have to use real dough, the prices at the co-op are usually lower, and they have lots of used and scavenged stuff to work with.
This paragraph makes me feel much better!!! I'm sure I could talk a BSG into some sort of volunteer thing to get me some experience and learn more about bikes. (Maybe even a JOB
) I will definitely give this a try when I have more time (also another thing I need) to get over to an LBS.
That is honestly the greatest suggestion a stranger (or person online) has given me!!!
