I've spent more than I care to admit on bicycles and bicycle upgrades over the years. But, that's part of the fun of it as a hobby and I would not begrudge anyone spending on their bikes. We aren't all bike mechanics or know how to install parts, etc. And, that's okay. LBShops can certainly use the business. I've dabbled in installing parts and adjusting brakes and can do a decent job. I'm even considering building up an Atlantis soon but have my LBS as a backup and I suspect I'll need their help.

Next time I'm paying up. I'm over it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
