This brings up another great Co-op memory! Somebody had come in and donated a drilliumed bike. It looked like and most likely was just eyeballed with a hand drill and cleaned with a countersink bit. It was terrible! There was a similar one on eBay not too long ago too.

Interview at a shop in Berkeley tomorrow.
The hell do I wear to an interview at a bike shop?

Full-time professional job: suit and tie
Part-time job: slacks, with decent shoes, and a button up shirt, tie optional
For an interview at a bike shop, I'd probably also bring a shirt to change into in case they ask you to do a bit of work to show you know what you're doing.

How does some nice dark denim and a mechanics shirt/polo sound?
And shoes, I have no in between. Have skate shoes, and wing tips out the ass, but nothing in the middle.
Sperry's? haha.

Are any of the skate shoes clean/relatively newish? I'm sure it will be fine. Just look neat and presentable, like you care about getting the job and put some thought and effort into making a good impression.

new (to me) wheelset came in - thanks scrod.
so that meant foregoing sleeping this afternoon before work and swapping out my current ones
they feel significantly lighter and look so so much better too.. anticipating a better ride.
now just waiting for the cog and lockring yusss
the waiting game.

As someone going for a job to be an apprentice, only thing that really matters is enthusiasm/passion and well, it seems silly to drive to a bike mechanic interview.
