I help out at a Local Bike Shop occasionally. The owner started out when he was 12 at an actual Schwinn shop and can fix literally anything cycle related. (He's mid-60s now.) He hates tuning carbon fiber bikes with a passion and refers to them as . . .
"F**kin' paper piece of Sh**. Stupid Ch****e piece-a junk don't even stay aligned long enough to get it outa the vise! Look at this Sh**. F***in' artificial bike!" (Imagine a Queens Accent.)
