Yeah....I certainly love fixing bikes...I guess its fixing other peoples bikes that I have grown tired of That and "I paid less than that for the bike" when quoting repair costs, and similar comments, made me realize that it just isn't worth the effort anymore. If I was at La Bicicletta where I only wrenched on $5000+ bikes,and hide in the backroom, I could prolly keep doing it, but extreme snobbery is also a problem.
Surliness?...yes...snobbery?...no.
My intention for the last 2 years was to try and find the right person to take over the day to day and let me step back to get my fingers in some other pies. Alas the right person never came. Cest la vie.
I have a $80 King with yer name on it there Wesley.
