Frequently Asked Questions

You only need one wheel to have fun...

I need repairs or modifications done to my old Fat Chance/Bontrager/Peugot - can you help?
Sure, here are the repair services I offer. Keep in mind that your frame will have to be steel (I don't work on ti, aluminum, or carbon) and I reserve the right to refuse to perform a repair or mod if I think it's unsafe.
Services and prices:
Add disc mount to frame: $75, including seatstay/chainstay brace if necessary
Add canti bosses to frame: $50
Add rack mounts to frame: $50
Add/replace/repair water bottle bosses: $20/boss
Add horizontal dropouts to frame: $150
Add Paragon sliding dropouts to frame: $250
Replace damaged main triangle tube (toptube or downtube): $200
Replace damaged chainstay or seatstay: $150
Repair/replace bottom bracket threads: $80
Basic media blast/paint removal and single color powdercoat: $125
Media blast and color + clearcoat powdercoat: $175

If your repair needs are more complex or not mentioned here, please contact me directly and we'll figure out what's needed to get you up and running. Please note that I do NOT do the following:
-Adding EBBs. Do the Paragon sliders if you want a disc brake singlespeed.
-Repairing damaged head tubes or multiple-tube failures. Your frame is toast, hang it on the wall!
-Adding S&S couplers to existing frames (I do build new frames with them, though).
-Filling dents.
-Realigning frames.
