Maybe they have a bouncer who turns away any customers who aren't wearing an Edinburgh Road Club jersey.

Why does the bike business seem to attract so many people who think "I run a niche business, so how can I put off as many potential customers as possible?"

My lottery win will be Black Bikes, your all welcome to come in and have a whisky but please don't try and buy anything.
I'll be looking for a pet mechanic if anyone feels their self worth could use a regular beating.
(need to buy lottery ticket)

@steveo nice reference to Black Books. You are Dylan Moran. (Bike mechanics are too hard for there to be a manny) but I will drink whisky with you so I am Fran.
Though what is your view on selling paraffin and also explosive material to minors as Corson was happy to do. As these were exceptions in the Game called Corson where he refused to sell, any customers anything if they were not specific enough from his shop in Stockbridge as recorded in the best ethnographic paper that academic ever wrote.

Anyone got a shimano Deore/XT 9 spd rear mech i can buy? Hannah declines to fit those currently commercially available Alivios or Soras as they are sh1t. I see a few new online but never used the suppliers and several used ones on ebay

@gembo - good shout a trained bike mechanic would be far to hardened. Given the quality and reputation I'm going for maybe poach the Saturday person from Halfords.
I'll take the Ron Swanson approach to sales, ID is government overreach and a person should be able to blow themselves up if they choose to.

Maybe Microshift, g? Their bar end gear levers are very good and they make 9 speed stuff.

Thanks @arellcat , they do look sturdy enough to pass the Hannah test. but more expensive than the Deore, which also pass the Hannah test Though I will check which Deore. As there are many Deores. The provider I am drawn to is Southwarer Cycles. The provider I don’t like the look of AliExpress. There prices seemed to shoot up the second I showed any interest.

@gembo That's the other thing that Incognito Mode is for.
I'll look in the garage to see if I didn't donate my most recent used 9-spd rear mech to the bike station...Posted 1 month ago # -
