Yes, Hugh that's my point entirely. I think I'd worry less about the satisfaction of getting a friction shift right & more about the satisfaction of changing ones own tire. On the other hand bike shops are suffering now, they can use all the flats you have to be fixed!
People who don't know how to fix a flat buy bikes online. They don't have any tools, etc. Then they end up paying to have it assembled. Ultimately, these days it's not even about saving money, it's just that front end convenience of clicking & buying. Even if it means more work on the back end. It's like they see it, get excited, click on it & when it shows up, maybe they're surprised it's not assembled!? It hurts my brain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
