Knotted - I think that is a very good question and one I have asked myself here of late. I would hate to think he would mess with my bike but I'm learning that even if you think you really know someone you really don't. It is hard to say what the problem is or who is to blame. Again, once the current issues are corrected to my satisifaction I'll be looking for a new shop and new mechanic.

Yeah, I've decided to sell my purple Giro (small frame), just thought I would let you know. I'll know more next week as to what I'm going to ask - it's a very sweet bike.
