In business when you hang your shingle out and throw the doors open you never know who's going to walk in. Usually it's someone local looking to purchase something or seeking repair. Then occasionally you get a world-class German triathlete who crashed his bike at a race in California and is seeking to rebuild the front and tail end of his carbon wunderbike. Not the typical task but I'm always up for a challenge. From start to finish the repair took four days and that included custom machining a new replaceable dropout. Henry was happy and now I have a reason to tune into the world championships this November in Clearwater, Florida. GO Henry!
