I tend to feel from the above responses that nothing has been permanently damaged-- you caught it ---
a good tech with good machining skills ( if he likes bikes and rides a quality machine) will make sure surfaces are straight and clean----- I hope america will start improving their product and nourish smarter techs!
I totally agree. Part of it may be that we undervalue blue collar work--I'd pay more if I knew
that the mechanics were well trained and saw their job as a serious endeavor. I rely on my
bikes for getting enough exercise, and thus keeping my sanity. That and commuting plus
the general joy that cycling brings me.
