Two weeks ago I quit my very well-payed (if questionably managed) bicycle mechanics job and signed an offer letter at a machine shop as a manual machinist. Today is my first day. Lunch is deluxe ramen with sardines. After 15 years, I have graduated from the retail-service side of the bicycle industry. #machinist#newchapter
A tale of struggle and rust. . I have been hammering the steelies off my matrix for over an hour now... Front left came off fine, but all the others have required blunt force persuasion... Shoulda got the bigger hammer. How bout those $40 rims though! #carportmechanic#newshoes#toyotamatrix#diy#seized#bravelittletoaster
