Tales from the LBS.... When the day starts like this you KNOW your in trouble..

[channlluv]

I interpreted "spitting the dummy" to mean saying something stupid, a la Red Foxx on Sanford and Son yelling at Lamont and calling him a dummy.

I like the "tales from the lbs" stories, too. And most of the time the stuff you ladies talk about is way over my head. I just read on and try to soak it in and learn.

When I first found TE and was welcomed here, I was asked what kind of bike I had. "Well, it's lavender with white trim," I think was my response. Yes, really. I still feel like a clueless noob much of the time, although I now know I ride a mtb and I can change a tube and adjust my own brakes and clean her up all by myself. I can even identify some parts - cool sounding stuff like "top tube" and "rear derailleur" (is there a front derailleur?), although I'd still call the seat thingy a seat post.

So much to learn, so much to learn.

The only things I buy online are books (usually from Amazon) and bike stuff from TE.
