$20 bucks and I'd tell them why without ever having to step foot in the building or talk to a single employee. It's not like some big giant mystery that needs a McKinsey led tiger team to tease out. It's literally the same fucking thing every fucking time, and it's never that people don't get enough fucking pizza parties.
youre Right, most of the other reviewers getting ignored are women or noobies, so it’s probably that. actually, they would have to pay attention to customers in order to ask anybody anything.
That’s fair. I have some local shops I frequent for service and special orders. I would continue to shop at cycle loft but I’m further away now and they have only trek and specialized at this point.
Goodale's in Nashua used to be my shop of choice, back when they were downtown in the old mill building. Place was awesome, it's where I got my first real MTB from. Then they moved to the new building, got the screws put to them by Trek and sold out.
Bluey kicks ass. I don't care how old you are.
Got drug out of bed by the wife and teenager because they couldn't get "Bluey" to play on the TV.
I guess I should get some shit accomplished today.
I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy Bluey myself, but good Lord if I'm sleeping in on my day off don't come bother me because you can't get a kids show to play.
Trek and Spec are kind of a cancer. They take over the local shops, then offer direct to consumer, then force those shops to close by outcompeting them. Localest place is a trek dealer, garbage selection but the mechanics are friendly and capable so that's where I go for service. I had to laugh when they told me they couldn't get a replacement part for my SRAM shifter, only to go and buy it myself on Amazon then have them install it. There's another shop a bit further (Assabet River Bikes) that has a really surprising selection of stuff but I haven't needed their service yet. At this point, I otherwise just do things myself or buy them myself.
TBF, this was standard protocol for almost EVERY shop between late ‘20 and early ‘22, distributors simply didn’t have any product available, it didn’t matter who the fuck you were.

kill list: the evolution
Word on the street is Trek told Goodale's they needed to take on a bunch of e-bike inventory to maintain their status, and when Goodale's couldn't move it (Goodale's knew this, which is why they never wanted the ebikes in the first place) Trek called in the debt and forced them to sell.
Speaking of wife and teenager, mine want to start a sourdough starter. I might need to stop by your house the next time we're down your way.

so what you're saying is...you're a slack motherfucker???
Fun fact, Superchunk played at the Grey Eagle on the Wednesday of my Pisgah trip. But I was too hungover from riding with you clowns on Monday to make it.
It's really easy to make your own starter via open air fermentation -- that's how I made my starter 17ish years ago:
4am for my terrorist-cat. Not sure how he got in my room but I don't like it!
Yeah the cost of a lever blade was 30 more expensive than a full shifter. Oh well, I bought it and still had them install it
I need to get down to HR in the next few days. Let's meet for a pint and starter handoff. Yes? Yes.I also have some starter if you want some sooner-ish. Although I owe @Nick some starter as well... and have for like 6 months. 'Cause I suck.
You mean like a mini
-fest? Except just drinking beers? @stoney - you ever able to get out of the house these days?
