Yeah it's the toast and onion soup that you're concerned about.
I'd bet she's not hard to look at.

Not in that particular case. But that sort of thing has happened. Like last Winter when I gave away a beautiful custom eBike to a nurse. It turned out she was the director of a hospice and a great motivational public speaker. She slayed me, I was writing corny swing-time songs and hearing violins, flutes with Nelson Riddle-like arrangements. A touch of MN Rochester accent with tall Nordic strawberry blond, and high cranial forehead knocked me out. I'll see if I can find a photo of it. I designed it for an elegant woman with big hills on the westside of town and extra-long legs. It got a handwoven Nantucket basket that holds a bouquet. Found the photo, it is a restored Spec. Globe with IGH, 48V, 85Nn, torque.
Q: Someone recently asked me, 'Why are bike shop people weird?'
A: Guess what I am reading: Science based Zoroastrian queer ecology!

Today the shop is hosting a Pinarello demo ride day. The rep is a guy I raced with multiple times in my career. The last time I saw him was in the field at the last running of the Boston Mayor's Cup in the Masters 40+ field. The boss invited me to stop by, and if I wanted to, clock in and help the rep out with test ride setups. It will be great to see him again. He better not bring a Nytro Allroad. With my discounts, that could be very dangerous to my charge card.

I found out today that we carry way more bike lines than I thought. Colnago, Olmo, Guerciotti, Bianchi, and more. Our biggest selling Italian bike is still Pinarello.
I have been working on the backlog of new builds and service bikes. Right now, I am focusing on road, including e-bikes, because I can turn them around. Today I finished a Cannondale Tesoro Neo X1 e-bike (entry Tesoro), did a refresh and tune-up on a 6 year old woman's 48cm Pinarello (it looked brand new when I was done), and then I spent my afternoon getting out three totally clapped out service bikes that tried my patience. There was nothing I could do to make them work perfectly or look great, and the boss was fine with it. Some people just want to ride their bikes and all they want is for them to work.
That part is hard for me, but I'm learning to deal with it.

I played saxaphone in the school jazz band 55 years ago. The hot blonde next to me was better (at saxaphone.) Now I just play the radio.I'd bet she's not hard to look at.
