Hahaha will do! I don't get it either, especially as a CPA (hence the post). I also know for a FACT his mechanic eats time (when I can see my bike is on the stand for 45 mins and they charge me 10 mins of labor)
They do a lot to create a positive cycling culture (group rides every Thurs on gravel, participation in trail building, MTB groups, etc). I want to see them around for a long long time.
They are super down to earth guys but they also sell some REALLY high end stuff (only Evil, BMC, Norco, and Open dealer in a 275 mi radius, also they sell bread and butter brands like Kona and Rocky Mountain) ... maybe they make their $ off of servicing their high end customer's stuff??
