The local bikeshop

I live in Bramming Denmark.
As i was out shopping for the last dinner of the year, i saw that the lokal bike shop was open.
Being a STRONG believer in lokal trade, i went in, asking him how long he would be open today.
I told him i was restoring a 2009 Trek 8500 shx.
His responce... Thats really a nice bike.

Good. He knows his Trek's i thought.


I brought it in later in the day, and i had my new rear wheel with me.

We looked at the crown bearing, deciding that he would do a swap.
We also agreed that he would pull apart the rear wheel.
He again assured me, that this will be a nice bike, and that also the rear wheel will be just right for it.

This was on the 31/12/2013.
