Oh yeah? Well I made peanuts in a bike shop but the Felt AR was my free demo bike. It just happened to be the one I was on. I swapped out my rides a good bit. The deep carbon rims were at one point some very high end wheels that I was given when I left my first bike shop job. I’ve rebuilt them with new spokes several times and new hubs once. I still have some odds and ends parts on there from race team spares when I was supporting an internationally competitive pro race team. The rest are mostly my personal spares. When I did eBay I was given a lot of stuff like spares and nice pedals and accessories because I listed bikes without any extras, exactly like they were new. I told people they could keep the stuff but most just gave it away. That is where my pedals are from. I mostly worked with really high end stuff for consignments that are too expensive to easily sell elsewhere, and where a couple hundred bucks in extras is nothing to the person. It is funny the duality of working with people like that but then being a poor miser IRL. I couldn’t have gotten the bikes I have ridden except through working as a bike shop monkey. The nice stuff often lasts so much longer especially here where I am around a lot of salty air and water.
