I see the smiley/emoji, sorry. I forgot to say so after the brain scramble of my usual few word replies.
"this is ~$180 for a tune up, itemized"
Like to see the itemized list. That sounds like some new cables and housings, bar tape, or perhaps a chain etc...
Here, you get a Gatorskin folding and they tag you 80.00 plus the tube and 16.00 or more to install. So you get to 100.00 pretty fast. ;)
There are so many commuters here on bike, the LBS are like mechanic shops around a big college campus. They know the parents can afford the bill, and can't afford not to afford it. ;0
Case in point. I actually drove to IOWA from TN to put a $113.00 fuel pump in my Kids UNI conveyance instead of sending $470.00 to pay the thieves to do it. It took me 20 minutes to install. I am all for capitalism, but fook off!
