It's my favorite shop! But every small shop will have its ups and downs as they break in and lose mechanics. I live and work in the neighborhood and have done so for 6 years and will probably never leave. So even though I have friends at other shops I will count it as my LBS forever.
Those fenders are plain are stupid though. I don't blame the shop I blame Soma who were unlike the shop, were definitely jerks about it when I whined to them over email. Worth it to figure out the super strange pre-drilled front rack hole but if you are going to do something very strange like that at least mention it in some sort of instructions or something. Oh well, as another shop owner in the neighborhood always says "the standard is that there is no standard". As for the chainring it doesn't look worn to be (not an expert). Just have fun riding right now as the sun has finally broken out! I'm inside with a sleeping toddler :| - Ryan On Sunday, November 15, 2015 at 1:08:24 PM UTC-8, Lynne Cooney wrote: > > Good.
