A night at the Opera

Who knew there was such operatic talent in the shop?  Certainly not me.  Nor was I aware that such an outstanding performance could be conducted in regards to bicycle maintenance.  Guess you had to be there.  but it was certainly fun!  (and all because we couldn't find the chain breaker)
Well, we didn't get out as many as I thought we would today.  Started off strong but was BLISSFULLY busy with a plethora of re-pairs (THANKS to all for your continued trust and patronage!) Jose' managed to put out a SWEET GT Hybrid, and a Nishiki MTB (all but the brakes) and i managed to finish a (if i may say so) GOR-GE-OUS 24" DK BMX with a WICKED COOL (albeit mistake) Paint job.  Accidentally put a gloss black coat when i meant to do a flat black, so absent mindly put a flat on top with no primer and it crackled.  but did so in such a COOL way...I just left it!  Little Red and chrome accents... Magnifique~!
Still have WAY more goodies to put out as well.  Radar has a Haro BMX 90% done.  I say 90% because as he is new he is still learning to make sure he has all the parts he needs BEFORE starting paint and assembly.  Got it all the way until he realized he had NO TIRES!  A rather important component, I dare say.  But he lucked out.  As we we're all standing around scratching our collective heads (hey..its a CLOSE knit shop) one of my regular scrap guys came in with a beat up BMX with...GOOD TIRES!  Good things come to those with no clue.
Thanks to the wonderful young lass who came in and even though her mom was willing to buy her a NEW bike, she wanted to get one from us!  We are quite honored!  Hope you have fun, and trust us...you'll grow into it!
Well, as the evening dwindles, I need to take my R and R time with mama!  Y'all have a great night!
