REPAIR CYCLE
We have four bikes and they all need service.
Some more than others.
They stay out in the weather and the weather here is very bad for tires.
I have to get them all ready for guests in October. I know it is a little early but that is my thing. Get it done now even if it doesn't have to be done 'now'.
So, I am on a one-bike-at-a-time plan. The first one went in today.
A hundred bucks for the full deal including 'slime' in the tires. It slows leaks.
When I bought these bikes they promised lifetime tuneups. The lifetime is still in effect but the tune up now costs 20 bucks. There was a change in ownership and the records 'got lost'. Uh huh.
They are all old fashioned Schwinns incidentally. The kind with a coaster brake. No gears. Great bikes. Great ride.
