Your problem is we identified the potential product liability lawsuit in the bike ridden in by the delivery guy, but failed to point it out to one so knowing as you?

Your point doesn't seem to be that we f'ed up your cog, but that we failed to tell you your hub was f'ed up. And I'm sure if we told you that you had a screwed up hub you wouldn't have come on the forum the next day to say that we had tried to tell you your hub was f'ed up in order to sell you one of our crappy asian ones. That's the joy of running a bike shop. As for pedaling asian sh#t, you racist a*s. I suppose all your components are american made for purity? Oh that's right, you couldn't build a bike with all american parts, and american manufacturers don't care to make parts (at least ones that most americans can afford).

Thanks to all who came out to our warehouse sale, we had a lot of fun, and it was a pleasure to meet more people. For those who wish to challenge, or question, or give us a try beyond the occasional reverb of this forum my email is will@nycbikes.com. I get a bit of email, but I try to respond to all in time. For those who wish to ask questions about how to convert to ss or fg, or who wonder what we do, I'd love to hear from you. I did something as objectionable as design a frame and have it built, rather than branding an asian manufacturers design. If i could get it built here I would, but like most of the large brands I had my design built at a price american consumers would bear.

There's nothing wrong with trying to build a bike on the down low, pulling parts from here and there, getting a bike you can afford to build, and afford to lose to that NYC thief that elsewheres can't imagine. That's how I started building bikes, that's behind my parts sourcing, and that's what makes something like this warehouse sale as fun for me as it was for those who came by this weekend. There is something questionable, however, about imagining it is your right, and complaining that someone isn't handing it to you.

And Evan Dando deserves more than you as a tribute.
