Thu 11/30; Tinker's Workshop / Street Level Cycles

Jen was busy at her apartment so I rode to the Tinker's Workshop (http://www.tinkersworkshop.org), Tue/Thu bike lab, where they provide tools and some help so you can work on your own bike. One could buy used frames, wheels, and components to throw together one's own bike.
The truing stand was in use so I couldn't redish Jen's rear wheel for the new freewheel, but Jen came by and we tried some replacement stems that would raise her handlebars, and we bought one for $5. We'll have to take off her handlebar tape, shifters, and brakes to get the handlebars off, then put the stem on, then put everything back together again. Thanks to Sasa (sp?) who volunteers at the workshop for being so helpful.
