I enjoy looking back over my shoulder at the end of the day and seeing some sort of progress seeking some sense of accomplishment something I can wrap my head around especially when I can wrap my hand around it too.
I do not enjoy aluminum bikes but I do enjoy a good cheater bar.
I did not enjoy the triage of thousands upon thousands of shitty bikes.
I did enjoy refurbishing hundreds upon hundreds of the not-so-shitty ones.
To the untrained eye it was just an old cracked mt bike with a 140mm Control Tech stem and monster purple bar ends and 5mm of travel in the front suspension. But to the small non profit bike shop bike mechanic it was a beautiful beefy downtube to hacksaw into a sweet cheater bar.
