Every ride over the same routes you've ridden for years on new bike is a revelation. Took the Scott up a pair of steep climbs (one after another) I've been riding for years today for the first time. Man that bike likes to climb. Cool.

You'll be waiting for a long time my friend.............

Apparently

move on...you should worry about your own life not someone else...though I feel the same way and feel tied to jobs with a stupid sense of duty.

Yeah dude.. I currently work in a really small shop where if I left (I'd give him a couple weeks of course) I could hurt it. I just really do need the higher income for fun and college.. it's friggen expensive.

I'm worried he will either:
A.) flip out, yell, whatever
B.) offer to raise pay - I want to go to the new shop.

I'm expecting A.

If the current boss is that bad...... what the fark are you waiting for? If you werent working out, how much concideration do you think he would give getting rid of you?

No, we get along great. Just he flips out about little things, like forgetting the date on repair tags. That's my fault, but still. I'm just worried he is gonna get really pissed

Every one says to use butted spokes when building wheels. I just built a set, 105 hubs, Reflex clincher hoops , but with some straight gage DT spokes. They are the stiffest wheels I have ever been on. I love them. I cant flex them at all.

Well then it is going to be a tough decision. Welcome to the adult world.

I know man x_x

Honestly, I'd go with the bigger shop - it's more likely to stay afloat in this ever-changing economy, and more dough is always better, especially with college coming up....

Just tell him straight up - you got offered a job at another shop and are considering it because of the higher pay. If he values you as an employee, he'll offer you a raise. If not, he'll let you go.

But don't fool yourself, working at a bike shop is not going to earn you enough to pay for college.

Current ones been around since mid 80s. He knows his stuff. It's really hard, but I need money more than the friendship of my boss. Wow, I sound like a dick.

Parents covering most. I gotta pay dorms and books and stuff.

That **** is expensive.... I'm making pretty good money right now as an SA, but I still couldn't cover all of r&b, books, and side cash if I go to CIM.

I wish I could Afford a bike like yours pcad. Riding around town would be so easy. It's already getting easier with my legs getting bigger and stronger. I can only imagine how great I would be with your bike

I'm just saying, making $.50/hr extra isn't going to make a huge difference - don't loose a friend over it.

Where are you going to college?

Hey Pcad,

Ditch the AAPL and upgrade to Greek bonds.

You won't be sorry.

Hey, they're paying like 18%.

And the Mets swept LA and are tied for first in the NL East. Yes I know that's like winning a Cat 6 race.

Me too.

just watch pocahontas or last of the mohicans instead

Yes, great movie--much of which was filmed just across the mountains from here.

The soundtrack for the closing scene makes for great climbing music.

Don't ya'll yodell in Tennesse?, and do the vols still have a tackle football team or is it strictly flag football there now?

great movie.

saw that when i first moved to the UK, and had nothing but contempt for the local inhabitants. it pretty much caught the gist of how i perceived them.
