That said, they want $200.00 to do this work, and suggested I may want to consider buying a new bike! I think I'd rather buy some new tools...
I'd like to think I can handle this myself. Any suggestions on where I can get detailed instructions on how to complete this project with minimal stress and anxiety?
Good Grief! I just dropped my bike off at the LBS and they are overhauling the BB for $25!! Are you sure they didn't quote you for a whole new one??
