Nice. There's another difference. He had years of experience, while you seem to be limiting yourself to what you can learn from a garage full of old bicycles and parts. Is it that obvious? *blushes* But actually, I work every night several hours to elevate my game and take it to the next level! I'll post a couple of photos tomorrow, God willing. That works, to a point, but I think you will do much better either working for someone else in order to learn the trade That'd be nice but 1) there is absolutely no money in this; 2) I love to work at night, I'm an owl from my programming days, I peak at ~03:00/3:00 AM; 3) tho I love bikes, I love to repair one per day or so, not 10 or God knows how many they do in an 8h work day; and 4) I'm a perfectionist. When I repair a bike, I aim for 100% perfection. And sometimes I get close! What I don't care for is when people come with a dirty bike, with the hand brake broke, the saddle has a hole in it, but they only want to have the flat tire fixed. Then I say, "I'll fix your ENTIRE bike, OK?" Sometimes they accept this and are very pleased by the result - without boasting - but most often they take it to a professional shop which is fine by me. So no, I'm not going pro on this, ever. or working on a better class of bicycle. Now I have two such bikes myself, one Scott Scale 960 alu-MTB, one Merckx emx-1 carbon racer, so I have some understanding. But people who own such bikes don't come to the organization and for help. They have money. Unless they are bums and the stuff is stolen. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
