Oak, when I was getting the fitting for my new bike and when I went to pick it up and have the adjustments done, the 2 fitters (one the owner) commented how knowledgable I was. I know I always comment about how unmechanical I am, so while I can't do the work, I do understand an awful lot about how bikes work. And all of it was learned from the collective wisdom of TE. I feel like a lot of the people here are friends. I've met many TE'rs and it's always been a good experience.
So yes, I am thankful to Susan and Jeff.
