how long has it been since you have found something really cool?

how many 29'ers do you have on the floor?

I wanna apologize to the guy who came in and bought a bike 2 days b4 my shift who came in on a saturday morning and brought with him his stretched gear cables on some older bike. As this is the only place I can put this story down.

The 50's year old man came in and the shopand there where 2 people waiting for help of at least before him. .

he barged in and said" I bought a bike here" .. And indeed he had. He had to pick up and fully paid for a very nice 700 dollar bike.

He asks if I could show him how to make the gears stop making noise (on the bike he just brought in.... I said yes, I bent down and pointed at where the outer goes into the back of the rear derailleur and said" Twist that" .

At that point I tried to go back to the customer I was with prior helping...

"Aren't you going to fix it.. I just bought a bike here? " he distinctly and loudly says.

I went and got a service sheet and asked for his name. I was about to book in his bike.

He turns and says
"I am disgusted... I just bought a bike and you cant help me.. I am never coming back into this shop again"

He came back that afternoon to pick up his bike. He went straight to the boss and just said I was no good and i had done him wrong....


I am sorry mister..

Yeah I am real sorry.

the other customers all thought you where a "fucking jerk" to use their words.

I did not agree...
I just said "Saturday midday and I still have not had a coffee all day" another customer bought me one..

SORRY MISTER.
hope you have a better morning next time.
