Another first for Bike Mech Tech.

A customer from Fife came over to see me on Saturday morning.
He needed his basketball wheelchair repaired for a game on Monday night.

None of the other shops / repairers he spoke to could help.

I shuffled my jobs on Saturday and done him first.
3 tyres changed which is 2 for the chair and a spare.
Castor bearings cleaned and re greased.

All ready to collect lunch time Saturday.

I hope you and your team win tonight Paul.

A customer from Strathaven, South Lanarkshire dropped this Bianchi Nirone 7 road bike in for a full strip down, repaint and restoration.

Stripped it today, all ready for a wee bit thread reclaiming due to 2 sheared cable adjusters on the down tube.

Headset bearings and bottom bracket bearings will be getting renewed too.

This customer is my second furthest away.
The furthest being from Rothesay, Isle of Bute.

I have a lawn mower in for not starting.

Carb stripped, cleaned and rebuilt.
