Heya Mike, Would you be talking Chuck Hoefer at Pacific Coast Cycles? Chuck built my no holds barred Salsa Motoman in 1986. I still have it. I still ride it. With the exception of the wretched U-brakes, it is a state of the art bicycle today. Timeless.
In those days, the shop was on Elm Street (the REAL NAME OF THAT STREET, not Carlsbad by the whatever Drive, thank you Chamber of Commerce) in Carlsbad. In the mid nineties, I migrated to Del Mar, and, over time, we lost touch. I have nothing but good memories of working with Chuck on the build, and equipment thereafter. I have the feeling I owe him a visit before any life events happen. Riding the Salsa, of course. Best regards, Tom On Topic: I feel sorry for that customer Anne encountered in the bike shop. He will probably never just jump on his bike in his board shorts or Musas and ride around his hood. Maybe, just maybe, he will find "Just Ride".
