The saga of Rusty the HardRock #bicycle continues.
Haven't heard from the guy who has my bike all weekend. It's a holiday, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Going to reach out tomorrow morning and make arrangements to get it back. Otherwise, I am showing up unannounced where he lives. Go from there.
As for next steps, I'm trying to find another professional #bike mechanic in #Portland #Oregon #PDX. Hopefully someone with more hands on and recent experiences - like in the last 3 or 4 years - who might be able to help me get the BB out of my steel frame.
I appreciate the offers of help I've had already. I'll be in touch. Just trying to improve my odds by tooting again.
But here's the issue. I spent the last $40 of my budget for this bike already.
I had considered buying another bike, but the owner won't go down on the price.
I haven't been able to sell my Nishiki either.
I'm unemployed right now. But I'm willing to work. I have prior retail experience. I also have a lot of customer service and IT/technical support experience. I like to work with my hands. Maybe you have a bike shop I can work at?
I just want to ride a bike, you know?
