Since November. Moving a business 3000+ miles is something I never want to do again but it was well worth the trouble.
Check out the pics of our new shop!

Oh, I thought you were joking!
How many holes? Clincher or tubular? I'll do a little digging.

Considering recent experience in this thread, is there any hope for Carleton's sanity?
I'd ask a serious bike question but that'd involve spending money and I can't even afford air for my tyres (and that stuff's free).

Scrod,
It's clear that you've been working hard, and the shop looks very attractive. I hope that your walk-in clients increase steadily.
Have you been to the San Diego Zoo yet?

Have to say you picked the right year to move. Last year the winter was relatively light (by Boston standards anyway), and this year you're away from it all.

Yeah, we're insured. The old adage of "**** happens" applies here but I'm not in a very good mood.

Time to install bars on the doors and windows and install the concrete pylons on the sidewalk so that no one gets the idea to back a truck through the front window. Same thing happened at a shop here in my town.

That sucks about the break in Scrod. I hope your bikes turn up and those dude(s) catch a beat down. People bust their butt for the things they have, then to have someone just STEAL it...Crazy.
I bought a KMC Devil 101 track chain from you and I wanted to know if I should clean off the waxy stuff it came with from KMC and relube it with regular lube, or should I just leave the waxy stuff on there? Thanks dude

I usually clean it off and re-lube. Don't worry about getting every bit of it off but just give it a good wipe with a rag and some degreaser.
