For business inquiries: [email protected] Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/bikefarmer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_EJ48NMTTBY3TCFTN53B2 Inspired by Bob Ross, the BikeFarmer videos are more of a 'Watch Me Work' style than a 'How To Fix Bikes" channel, the BikeFarmer videos will follow lifelong shop owner and mechanic, Andy Q as he works through bicycle projects, mostly refurbishing used bikes for resale, but also anything related to shop life. This channel is designed for anyone with an interest in bicycle bicycle tuneups, repair, used bicycle refurbishing. I don't claim to know the best methods for any of this, but I am a professional bicycle mechanic at a small town shop specializing in practical bicycles and general purpose bikes for everyday people. I'd love to see feedback, comments and discussions on all aspects of my work. Hopefully I'll learn as much you do. Every bike has its own set of circumstances and problems to work through.

I mean, it's whatever, right? If the customer absolutely insists it's worth it, then I guess it is. Half of you don't think this bike is worth $25 and the other half of you think it must be saved at all costs. I just think it's a bike. And it's actually a pretty good one, but it is TOTALLY ROACHED MAN!
