Cheapus Bikeus Extinctus
Ring....Ring....
TD, "bike shop, how may I help you?"
Dickwad, "dude, you sell used bikes?"
TD, "not very often, we have very limited space."
Dickwad, "ya, cuz I got like a hundred bucks and need a mountain bike."
TD, "try Goodwill, maybe you'll get lucky," then I can put new tubes and goo in it ($40), new tires ($50), give it a tune-up ($50), some new grips ($12), fix the cables ($20), get you a new rear wheel ($40), bottom bracket overhaul ($20), and fix the shifters ($40). Or you could just get a new bike for $250, and save yourself $172. Or you could go to wally world and get a bitchin ride and a couple of 40's, and live like the trailer park king you think you are...
Phuk You.

When I was still living in Greeley, my former coworker had some words of wisdom for a similar customer. " I can't turn shit into a ham sandwich."
no, but you can turn it into a shit sandwich!
now that, friends, is positive thinking!
I am not buying another shifter, just a new bike.
When I bought my first road bike, I got it used off some douchebag, but brought it into Roubaix to be checked out mechanically. I would like to blame my youth for this indiscretion, but I've discovered that really I'm just a jerkwad at heart.
SPEAKING OF, and this is more important, I want a copy of Faders Up, which I believe is a different Turn 4 cd than the one I have (unfortunately, the CD case is in Kansas and I can't look it up). So either e-mail me so I can figure out how to pay you and make arrangements to ship it out here, or let this comment sit here for a few weeks until I get frustrated and e-mail the Roubaix customer service account. I'd use lots of expletives.
bro, just let us know where to send that shit and it'll be on its way.
Can we get an update? Thanks.
