Holy crap, has it really been six years?

While I’ve really enjoyed having you guys ask all kinds of questions ranging from silly to technical, the shop has become far too busy and takes up way too much of my time to keep up with forum stuff. The real questions seem to be coming less often these days and most times people are just asking about stuff my shop sells. I also feel that a few people who were asking me questions a not long ago are now able to answer a lot of this stuff on their own so it’s a good time to bring down the curtain.

I’m super glad to have been able to help so many of you when you’re stuck trying to figure something out but here’s the thing - I learned everything I know by researching things myself and getting my hands dirty. I was a confused noob once too and certainly wasn’t born having a long grey beard and the ability to build wheels in my sleep. It’s totally ok to **** something up, learn from your mistake and do it right the next time. They’re only bikes, after all…

In all sincerity, I have such incredible appreciation for the support Retrogression has gotten on BFSSFG from the early days in our 250 sq-ft, centipede-infested basement shop in Beverly, MA to what we’ve become in San Diego. It’s been a long time, a long journey, a lot of hard work and our passion for track bikes only continues to grow (despite the nay-sayers who claim the scene is dead).

If anyone misses me, I’m always easy to reach by email and will still drop by the forum from time to time to ruffle some feathers.

¡Adois, amigos!
