And lots of FUN!!!

I do have to admit my limitations. I was humbled by a local guy who brought his bike over for adjustments to his brifters and a ten speed hub. We tinkered for hours and finally got it right after a thorough search of our forums and Youtube. We both learned allot. Of course the adjustments probably could have been done at a professional bike shop in a matter of minutes. But then again we would have missed the laughs, beer, and tears.

I have had more fun and rewards working on bicycles, especially old ones, than most other interests I have had. All hail Sheldon...
