Ride Lugged

Here in Frederick we have a shop noted for its assholishness. They are mean to everyone. Customers regularly defect to other shops as a result. I never had good service in there, and I know what I am talking about, so wasnt bumbling around asking dumb questions. I was an ideal customer. “Howdy, how ya doing? I need some sis housing, about 5 feet and some ferrules, donuts and sis cables…” They gave me that are you a leper look… Anyway, the other day I needed to adjust my rear mech hanger, and they were my only option on short notice. One of the guys recognized me as being ex Under the Sun, and I was in. They joked with me, gave me free use of the shop, and I now get cost plus 10 on parts. What jerks. I didnt change, but my affiliations did, and I became part of the in crowd. Now they wave when I pass on the street. I use the discount, but I’d like to take this space to give them a low key but much need rasberry. -James
