Thanks, Jason I'm happy to share and glad if in anyway I've encouraged some wrenching.
And thanks, Ryan, too! She digs the bike. And I think workshops, like bikes, are each a miracle. When I first decided to make a build video I was thinking of some other builds I enjoyed watching. I thought I'd give it a try. But I never expected the response to be so overwhelmingly positive. I really appreciate anyone who has made time to watch and send a nice note. It means a lot.
