re: #577 wrenchwench
I was just discussing a customer’s old bike with him on the phone, and he mentioned that he felt guilty not working on it himself. I said, ‘For a little extra, I can alleviate your guilt and give it back to you in pieces.’ He laughed and said, ‘Oh good! A bike mechanic with a sense of humor!’
I built up both my Ritchey and my Battaglin, but I did have my LBS do the headset and bottom bracket. I mean, who the hell has a headset press and the right bottom bracket wrenches for Phil Wood BBs? Not me, that’s for sure!
