The mechanics of a bike is easy.
The difference is a really good bike mechanic will know all the specs for all the different group sets, be able to identify many to the year just by the fact that "this year has a cut out here, and a slightly different bend there", they know all the common hacks / work arounds, they know what years had weaknesses e.t.c Thats the knowledge that shows experience and dedication.
