Thanks.  Also notice the way in which they're holding the bike whose gears are being adjusted.  Rather than being mounted in a workstand, it's hanging from the ceiling, using chains and what appear to be VAR hooks: http://www.melpintoimports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath1_117&products_id43&osCsid?914a0ea31ceeaae87d19d293ac2382 http://www.sheldonbrown.com/var/pages/var0047.html

I'm glad that an high class shop like Singer still does it this way.

Au revoir
