Yes we build bikes, it’s £60 and there’s a 4-6 week wait.
I’ve had a trike booked in to be build from a box (came from China).
It came in two separate box and nearly 90% in pieces.
End up texting customer to raise build labour from £45 to £100 and that’s me being generous.

£45? Fuck. That. noise. 100 minimum. That's time you're not gonna get back. If you're good at something, never do it for free/cheap.
@TM We're sending bikes in the giant boxes, and posting instructions with them on how to twist bars and put pedals on. I'm about a dozen conversations down where people have installed the forks backwards.

We had someone wanting us to quote to convert one into a hand (tri)cycle... 😂 I mean I’m kinda sorry that we weren’t able to help but what exactly did they expect us to be able to do?

My favourite phone conversation at the moment is “hiiiii erm do you guys build bikes? Like I bought a bike online and it came in a box and I just don’t know how to put it together?! (Giggles being cute)”
Yes we build bikes, it’s £60 and there’s a 4-6 week wait.
“WHAT?!”
Followed by “bought a bike online and it’s fully built, just needs a quick fettle, I’ve indexed the gears but they’re just not quite right”
Yeah that’ll be a case of leaving it with us for 4-6 weeks...
“But it’s just a quick fettle can’t you just do it when I come in?”
