I took my shop ice cream. It's french pot, made in Cincinnati and sold in Denver. I felt like a cheapskate though, it's only sold in quarts and I think they deserve gallons!

All the way from Lakewood in a cooler. I was wrong, it's sold in pints not quarts. It was Graeter's ice cream available at King Sooper (Kroger) but don't know if it's carried in the Boulder store. Originally Posted by MartianDestiny

Like I said, they're worth gallons!

Swimming pools is more like it. Well now I definitely have to bake. I've been feeling guilty about not feeding them recently and now you've made me feel really guilty Originally Posted by Kathi

I took them some Stella, and got some big smiles. They do their fits after closing and they were already drinking when I got there!
Anyhow, for anyone who wants to geek out on fitting stuff, my fitter said I was the first person who'd ever come back (?!?!?). I thought that was really crazy-but people around here call him the bike whisperer, and I know he's fixed some big problems for people. My problem was a little more subtle starting out, and I don't think there were any big glaring fit errors for him to fix the first time. The first time he didn't do any measuring but this time he did, and my R femur is longer (this is the leg that my knee always gets messed up on) so we moved my cleat back some so that leg isn't getting forced into an awkward position. I still feel like my seat is quite high but it was probably way too low before so it'll take some getting used to. Also my knee is angry so I'm not going to ride until it feels a little better
but I don't want to make it worse. I have specialized BG shoes, with two shims in them and my knees still collapse so we added a third (4.5˚ correction total!!! geez) so we'll see how it all works out. I am supposed to call him if it's not working. He said the next step is to run my looks with red cleats instead of gray, and after that speedplays.
thanks again everyone! If I have to go again i'll be taking some baked goods. OH! and if you live near a Ben and Jerry's, today is free ice cream day!!!!

The goodies are nice light humor to read here, but uh your hard earned $$$ you paid for a service is more than enough for a professional.
Sorry, tainted seething b*tch about lbs near me, been scr*wed over a lot. And AFTER I took goodies and kissed azz... for what? My money paid for a service and biz keeps your doors open... so you should be kissing my azz in America the country of capitalism. *sigh* much mo better now... rant over.
After 5 hours round trip, I have my guy now that sold me my current bike. Worth it.
OK... here's my puzzle... uh, how did your leg become uneven from one bike to the next bike? Too many one legged drills on that side, or what? Part joke, part... is that the only reason why things are off... do they really know?
Do you remotely know where your old fit guy went to? Can you call him at the other shop for advice?
Hopefully the guy you paid will work out your fit. I need a handelbar tweek now w/swap out crash parts, and once you go from "my bike is perfect, disappears underneath me" to "omg, this pain sux"... there is no going back.
I'm sorry you hurt. Hope the knee is better soon.
