Title: that old black magic.
Post by: jags on November 25, 2015, 04:36:36 PM

Well i just finished servicing a lovely trek bike for one of the girls in the local club ,took me 2 and half hours  to get it back to looking and preforming like a new bike.
last job i done on it i sprayed the bottle cage  final touch ,i charged her 20 euro ,when i came indoors my wife said how much did you charge for that  i told her  ah very good she said ,did you notice the new jersey i paid 35 euro for  black feckin paint  right down the front in the  shape of a bottle cage  ::) ::)
if i bought a duck it would bloody sink  :'(

Oh no!  :o

A case of "no good deed goes unpunished".  :P

So sorry about the jersey,  Anto. Similar has happened to me. It only happens with the newest clothing!  :'(

Beware loose sleeves when donning or doffing brand-new hi-viz riding gear...they *will* find rim oxides. Being metal, no cleaning solution will remove the stains.  ::)

All the best,

Dan.  (...in sympathy and solidarity)

I am suspicious of cyclists with pristine clothes. Probably poseurs. Wear the hand decorated jersey in good health, Anto.
