>I only know cycle marketing from my most immediate personal
experience Which is 1) my local bike shop wants me to pick up my classic
Raleigh or Peugeot immediately after repairs because they are tired of
being pestered by folks asking all about it!
GAAAAAAHH! You trust your classic beauties to the local bike shop? Gad, just the thought sends shivers down my spine.

But seriously folks... the LBS in my town happens to be populated by friendly and capable personnel... I just love doing the work myself. Perhaps a holdover from the days when I was always broke (let's see, that would be... last Tuesday?) or maybe it was just so much fun doing it myself back in the 70's that I never stopped...
