Salvage shops? This guy had 5 bikes in the back just waiting to be the parts for this beauty.I don't know what chain my LBS guys used on my mixte freewheel rebuild but I imagine there are chains out there.
DebW? RunningMommy? Is there a mechanic in the house?![]()
Right, r.b.m., you are one too.
Wa D.C. is flat, right? Why not suggest a freewheel?
What bugs me is while we get extraordinary service, good service, ok service from our shops .... I don't expect this behavior from any shop.
Communication. Education. Good shops do that. This is how my shop is getting me to plan for a new bike. I asked him "if I wanted to use my commuter for ALC is there anything that could make it lighter?" He described how we could throw money at it![]()
.... and said it would cost less to get a Surly LHT, which would be lighter, faster, touring geometry and I still have the commuter.
That's how you sell a bike. And the shop might have gotten the rebuild too.
