Ode to Greed

Oh, woe to those who service bikes,
with one wheel or two, or that, a trike!
When your tune-up cost exceeds the national debt,
or  cost to change a tube makes one sweat,
when thy only concern is gross and net,
along comes us, and your match is met!
So put away your spoke wrench, sprocket et all,
for folks, who are smart, would rather pay a price
that's small!

Oh today was fun and I'm sorry to see it come to an end (for me) as I am back on night shift this week at the house!  Home made chicken soup (with left over Turkey substitute) AWAITS!  if you've been tuning in today you'll know we had some excitement earlier (check the last two entries) Well we were given the opportunity once again to help out a young couple (via the church) who have fallen upon hard time (unfortunately not an unfamiliar occurrence...HOORAY for the NEW economy!) and will be hooking them up with some transportation!  Thank you for the chance to help!
Had a young gentleman give us a call today.  Seems h purchased a 03 specialized Hard Rock at a flea market...that was in a box.  Got a real sweet deal and figured what he couldn't reassemble he could take to a bike shop and they'd rebuild it for him.  Good plan...until he called around and found out it would have been cheaper just to buy a NEW Specialized Hard Rock!  He checked out craigslist, called a few of the guys who advertise on there...but he was hesitant.  In his words they seemed "a little squirrely"  Then he stumbled onto one of our adds, and thought he'd give us a call.  Well once he found out the whole assembly, plus two tubes would cost less then $50.00...Well he got here in about 20 minutes!  That's what we're here for!
Several part sales today for the do-it-yourselfers, and a young lady "talked herself" into purchasing the Raleigh road bike.  Had another young lady come in to look at the Peugeot we put out, but it was just to big, but luckily enough the "haunted Road Bike" fit her perfectly!
Put out another couple goodies today! Matt's working on another "Daily Banger" should be ready tomorrow, Jays....well currently he's either doing his "Mikey Mouse" or "Yoda" impression...can't quite tell.  But he's got another special in his bay (one at a time Jay, One at a time!)
So with that in mind, and my lovely wife urging me to "Stop Writing a BOOK!" I gotta git movin!
Talk to ya tomorrow!
