Tumbling Tumbleweeds

Was today a Tuesday and I missed it?
sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow,
Although we were treated to a midweek Chip visit!  And thanks for the bag of Lag bolts!  Theres a lot of bling in that baggie!
Also got treated to a visit from an old customer from back in the garage days who dropped off a bevy of re-pairs and some donations to the cause!  Thanks to Mary for the treats and the bikes will be ready tomorrow!
Speaking of bikes ready, I feel SOOOO bad for one of our local saints, she works as a crossing guard and helps the kids in need keep there bikes running.  She brings 'em to us to keep them rolling and one such child had their rear axle blow out Monday and we got it fixed up.  Then the next day the poor kids chain broke, so she brought it in yesterday.  Well when i went to put on the new chain last night my chain breaker broke so first thing this morning I opened late so I could go get a new one from my supplier only to find that he was out!  So I tried in vain to Jerry rig one, but in the end failed.  SO SORRY that the poor kids gotta walk another day!  But no fear have a new one coming in and will be up and running tomorrow!
Well as all things grow, Izabella is now not only crawling but exploring!  A scary proposition in a house of tile and glazed concrete!!!  But at least she has decent balance, and if she's anything like the other kids...a REAL hard head!
The Submissions to the syndicate FINALLY went out today!  HERE'S HOPING"!
Well in all the hustle and bustle managed to get out only ONE new bike today and two more in paint, PLUS picked up a NICE (soon to be) Big Boy Motobecane Road bike, and another three wheeler (now if I could get just ONE of them finished!  Also a DK BMX frame, and some bangers!
Well That's be it from me tonight as i am preparing to watch RED again!
LOVE IT!

  1. Hey guys the Vertical PK-7 20" MTB were recalled some time ago. The frames are weak and susceptible to sudden failure. You might want to check and see if your PK-7 is part of that recall. Anyway,great shop, keep up the good work.

  2. yes, bummer about that hunh? We became aware of this a year or so ago. the recall year was 2004-05, I believe. This model is a later year, but thanks for the heads up! Would have hated NOT to know! Also for any one else reading the Triax PK-7 of the same year was recalled for the same reason. There is a model # 8596-71t for the Vertical, and #8509-24 for the Triax printed on a sticker located between the front derailuer mount and above the bottom bracket. Check for 'em
