Complete Incompetence at Mike’s Bikes
Tuesday, October 17th, 2006Earlier this summer I bought myself a spiffy Specialized S-Works Roubaix at Mike’s Bikes in Sausalito to replace my old Kestrel 300 EMS. I thought I’d occasionally ride the Kestrel but the Roubaix was superior in every way so I ended up selling it to some lucky person via eBay.A few weeks ago I found some sand on a descent of Apline Road and crashed hard. I had open wounds from road rash for nearly two weeks and caused significant damage to the bike. The crash snapped the carbon fiber handlebars, bent the rear derailleur hanger, bent the front brake mounting post, and most likely damaged the carbon fiber fork, stem, and seat post. Not wanting to pull a Hincapie I brought the bike to Mike’s in San Francisco. Normally I would have taken the bike to The Freewheel in San Francisco, as they’re an awesome shop with great wrenches, but I needed to get parts from Specialized so I brought it to Mike’s.
