Paul let you into the shop? NEVER,NEVER, WON'T HAPPEN! NOPE, IMPOSSIBLE, CAN'T BE DONE, PERIOD.
Well, actually I saw that happen once, we were standing around the counter looking at the new
Campagnolo Croce D' Aune delta brakes, this was back in the late '80s and little did we know that
those brakes would turn out to be total **** on wet days.
Anyway, all of a sudden this scruffy type comes in with some commuter type bike and needs a tube
for his back tire, we look and the guy has some lame truck tire, I think it was a 700x28 or some
stupid size.
The whole atmosphere in the shop changed while his guy was in there, and for months after Paul was
always going on about how it's time to look for a new location for the shop.
Zoot, do you know that guys like Fabrizio talk about you and say things after you finally
leave the shop?
And don't even think of going into Giuseppe Cramerotti's shop down the street, he will get ol Theo
van Tol to throw you and your bike out.
Not that this makes you a bad guy.
