Pit Bike Thank You

Hah.  I'm all about that.  I need a bike that's a lot harder to break if I'm gonna race cross next year. 

I could've already bought a complete SS bike for the money I've spent keeping my geared cross bike running this season (no exaggeration).

I was super bummed to blow up my third derailleur of the season on Sunday but my red-hot hatred of the mechanical curse that has haunted my cross season vanished when, as I dejectedly strolled into the pit, the Shimano guy said "Hey, man. Want a loaner bike?"

Yeah, my race was long over, but thanks to you (and Sellwood Cycle Repair, who provided pit bikes) that godforsaken bog-of-a-course did not win.

You, kind sir, rule. Seriously, that was HUGE. Thanks.
