he can be a bit grumpy at times. i never thought to ask about watching him work, but i remember when i was buying the groupset and wheels from him just about 4 years ago, i asked about paying him to fit it all, and his attitude was 'why would you do that? you'd be well able for it'. they've also regularly talked themselves out of sales or work when i'm there, where i know other bikes shops would have taken my hand off for the work.
i went around with the notion about replacing the aksiums on my winter bike (i had a budget of around €400 in mind) as i've been warned that getting traditional QR disc wheels could get difficult in the future, and he said to me 'you'd be mad to replace those, for a winter bike; ride them into the ground, then come back to me and i'll sort you out'.
