A few weeks ago we had a guy in the shop for about two hours asking questions about sizing, differences in components, etc. He wanted something with track geo and had similar proportions as me so I put my Bare Knuckle on a trainer, had him get on it and made a few adjustments. I even switched out the stem to something shorter because his arms weren't quite as long. He left knowing a lot more than when he came in. I even wrote it all down for him.
He came back the other day with a ****ing Kilo TT (that was too big for him), complaining that the "crankset was slipping".
