Bike Shopping- day 3- the freak out (long)

[SouthernBelle]

When I bought my road bike the first time or 2 I went out on it, I feared I had made a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. But there is a little learning curve. & you've been riding enough that it will be a short little curve.


& Mimi, are you serious about your LBS being ticked about your choice of wheels? I've been talking bars with my mechanic and he told me that even if I didn't buy them there, bring them to him cause he wants to set them up for me.

yep. There's a lot of ego involved here. I had to tell the guy "I had no idea you built wheels" then he showed me a WOODEN WHEEL that he built!
It was VERY cool. He actually located some antique wooden rims never been used and put spokes and stuff on them and put them on an old (beautiful) bike.
