Why are you slinging insults? I clearly stated that I’d fix it if I had time. I found this problem yesterday and am leaving town today. I take my ability to fix bikes quite personally, and my 5 bikes all run perfectly except for this damage I just discovered.
DIY repair has become a bit cloudy lately since my hourly wage is so much higher than shop time, still, I do enjoy the process.
For the last 6 months and continuing for the next year or two, my family and I are bouncing from one spot to the next. It’s quite an adventure and it’s a ton of fun.
On my few stops at “home” to repack the adventure goodies, I don’t really have time to fix bikes. Especially one that I won’t be riding.
A friend is putting it up for sale. If no bites, I’ll let the co-op have at it.
