Hi there,
I have had this idea for a while and i'd like to run it past you all.
I have been wondering wether starting a Workshop which would be open to you all would be a good idea?
The workshop would be kitted out with a Park Tool Master Mechanic tool kit, at least 4 Park tool deluxe workstands, and workbenches with Proffesional wheel truing stands. An idustrial parts cleaner, and Most importantly a large Vice!
The idea is that it would be somewhere for all of you to come and service, build or repair your bicycles in a profesionally kitted out workshop.
The aim would be to create a community workshop, which would be open till late because after all most of us find our LBS is shut by the time we finish work!
The Location would have to be as central as possible to accomodate as many people as possible.
People could either pay an hourly fee to use a workstand and tools, or simply pay an annual fee and have access all year round to the workshop. Any suggestions on prices are welcome, after all i'd like to accomodate for everyones budgets.
Wheelbuilding evenings would also be great.
I'd really love some feedback for as to wether this would be of interest....
ps Enjoy riding today, its a beautiful day!
Thank you for reading.
