I'm not sure, ax0n, but I gather his parents are concerned about the state of a used bike. I think perhaps they may not be aware of how easy (relatively) and inexpensive most bike repairs are. If weirdlookingguy is going to print this out for his mom and dad, what do you think they should know about that?
