Denise - YOU GUYS ROCK!! I just love reading these wonderful stories.
I think you need to post some pix of this fine rider and his new bike so we can see the purdy thang (the bike of course!).
And how is Justin doing?Dar

Denise - I love you guys!! ((((((((HUGS))))))). That is just the greatest. You made me cry. I'm coming to Tempe sometime just to meet you. I'll wait until winter though I think.

I wish we had known a shop owner like you when my son was racing. Although we could afford the bike, all of the things he had to buy added up and up and up... and then we had to get a better bike, a cross bike, and another better bike. If they had just given him a little shwag for gratis, it would have gone a long way. Junior racers get treated like doo-doo to begin with, and they could have had a lot more business from us if Scott had been treated better. As it was, my husband became a "mechanic," because it would have been unbelievably expensive for us to pay for all the work he had to get done.
You rock! I will definitely be stopping by when I'm in Tempe during the next year.

Way to go Denise. I always believe in the Kharma.... it's sad that many don't. Way to be a shining light in your community! That stuff ought to make the papers instead of all the other "*%#*" we have to read about daily!!
You've given me chills on a hot day! THANKS!
Wish I could bring my business to you guys! Kind of a long drive or ride, though.
