I think you are a lucky dawg! I paid twice the price you paid and, in 3 months, have not fixed the problems I know about let alone those that are still undiscovered! Bought a new cell phone today just in case this bike leaves me high and dry again.

And, just to continue the discussion a bit, I wonder about the value of my time. I guess my time is free in this equation? I don't think I like that.

I also wonder about quality. Since I care about my bike a lot more than a stranger does, I'm going to be extra careful. That and a buck will get you a donut! Meaning, that even though I'm careful, I can still make any number of stupid mistakes that a trained guy probably will not make. Still - since my time is free,,,,

Just a comment from the peanut gallery!

Cheers!
