Remembering the week a local race team brought in 12 bikes for a full pre-season tune
It was about eight years ago, before a lot of shops got into the team service game. They rolled in on a Monday with a dozen carbon road bikes, all needing cables, housing, bar tape, and a full check. We had three of us in the shop and we just went heads down for four days straight. The best part was the quiet focus, just the sound of cable cutters and degreaser, and seeing a whole fleet lined up perfect by Friday. It felt like real craft work, not just fixing flats. Does anyone else miss those big, focused jobs that just filled the shop for a week?

Totally get that feeling. It's like the world gets quiet and you just get into a rhythm. You don't see that kind of deep focus much anymore, everyone's pulled in ten directions at once.
