from this point, it might get ugly

Chris has a loyal following in the SF Bay area among women for a reason. He is NOT like Mr. DumpsterDiver. He's a bike geek, a real nice HUGE nerd who loves bikes. He treats women like cyclists, not like easy-marks for poor service.

He got Trek onto the bike of her dreams, and she's TINY. He fussed and fiddled with that bike until it fit her so perfectly that she can do the AIDS rides multiple times!

If Mondonico cannot make a brand new frame to meet your needs, Chris will tell you so. He won't "bend the truth" just to make a sale like Mr. Dumpster.

Chris Robinson is the best bike shop owner that I have ever known. He used to live in my house when he was getting his shop started. He is honest, smart, knowledgeable and will be helpful at all times. He is and was a friend obviously when we lived in California. I would recommend his bike knowledge and honesty to anyone. He will be able to answer your questions and if he can't he will find out.

Now, yes, he might be a big huge bike nerd now as Knotted said, BUT I remember him when he was just finishing being a VERY GOOD RACER and deciding to open his shop, and he was nowhere near as big. That's what a bike shop will do to you. He is knowledgeable in all areas of cycling.

Ooops! I didn't mean "huge" in the physical sense, I meant "huge" in the bike-nerd/loves-bikes sense.

(it was a compliment, as nerds and geeks are very cool in my worldview)

LOL ah... the visuals...
