Rainy Saturday

Always putting a crimp in the day for bicycle enthusiasts everywhere, we had a real down pour for a while this afternoon, and as always the presence of dark clouds sent folk scurrying for the safety and comforts of home.  BUT, the morning was a busy one!  Sold the GT to a young gent looking to.. you guessed it, get away from the gas pump!  YAY!  Another convert! Also sold the old reliable Huffy to a young man wishing to cut his bus commute down a little.  Smart man.  Can get from a to b in a half an hour on bike, as opposed to an hour and half on our sorely lacking public transit.  Hey Don't get me wrong, I aint' knocking buses, but around here the routes are few and far between!  Also, got a chance to meet to sweet youngin's and their Mom looking to size up on their rides.  She choose the "Pretty in Pink" 20" but unfortunately had no 18" for him.  It's OK though have a few in the back that will be perfect for him...when we get 'em done!  The repairs weren't their usual flow, for the aforementioned storm.  Most people shelve the desire to ride when the storm clouds move in.  That's OK though, gave me some time to focus on new rides!  Put out four!  OK...I can't lie.  We DID put out four, but three of them needed little to no work, the fourth one though......WOO WEEEE!  This one needed ALOT of work!!  Suffice to say in the time it took me to work the bottom bracket I ran M.A.S.H the movie from opening to closing credits!  Any bike mechanic worth their salt has at least from time to time come across a bike with a personal vendetta against them.  This one, was this years white whale!  A Specialized hybrid, that someone had powder coated and not capped off the threaded areas.  Took some scouring to get the threads clean, as I didn't have the tools to chase them!  Thanks to Kaleb for showing up his dad by coming up with the smart solution, put in a sealed bottom bracket!  Wish I thought of it.  But if that wasn't bad enough, had similar problems with the neck, had to cannibalize three sets of integrated v-brakes to make one good set, went through a real drag issue on the drive train, and on more then a few occasions tools took flight to the melodic chortling of Daddy language!  But, in the end, she turned out to be well worth it! 
So with that I present the four newbies and bid you all a found goodnight!
