I used to live about 5 miles from the shop in Mount Rainier on the DC line. Great little town. I haven't found a shop like that here in Richmond; Proteus is unique and I don't know if one like that even exists here. Luckily, I can still make it up there from time to time. (Bikes at Vienna is great, too. Love those Bike Fridays!) Originally Posted by F8th637

I'm not sure if Jerry was there, I never got the name of the guy who pretty much helped me the most though it really was a team effort especially since we had to gang up on my husband. 
I wish I was closer to Proteus so I could hang out there more often. I'll still visit but I'll have to plan those. I'll probably take the bikes to Bikes at Vienna for repairs and maintenance since they are so close to me and they do great work as well. I really like those guys and I've been to a good number of LBSs in this area.

Beautiful! Congratulations! What an amazing piece of bike-destiny!

I looked up the seat, a WTB Rocket, online and most people said it hurt at first until you broke it in. I always have my spare cushy seat just in case but I am looking to be a bit more stream-lined this time around. Originally Posted by KnottedYet
