SO FRUSTRATED, here, have this tl;dr
Orange bike had the drops measured to fit, since I had them replace the flat bars. Drops on the orange bike are more comfortable than my custom-to-fit soma drops. I ask the soma builder, he confirms the drops he put on were too big to give me "stability" over comfort. Never mind that I didn't ask for that, but whatever. He'll replace them for free.
I get them replaced, and they knocked the front fender so hard it was beyond my ability to bend back into place.
I take the bike back to get the fender fixed, they fix it, I take it home.
Except they did a **** job fixing it, and today as I'm just finishing the first mile of my commute, the fender fails again, big time. So how was my commute today?
Alternatively pedaling as hard as I could, then coasting for as long as I was able with my right foot pushed up against the front fender so it wouldn't rub the tire raw. My commute was angry.
I. Hate. That "bike shop". So friggin much.
