I just wanted to publically thank someone who has helped me out, on multiple ocassions, with outfitting and adjusting my ride. Spare parts, fair deals, advice, needed reality checks...all supplied by OP.

A valuable resource on this board.

If I'm ever in Boulder, I owe you (many) beers.

...and he does it with good humor and never gets too torqued off.

If ever in Charlotte,NC, OP is welcome to drink all the home brew he can swallow. And it's good too.

We'll trade buying him rounds.

I've pestered him with enough questions and he's provided advice free of charge.

One of the good ones.

After reading his many posts and receiving great advice on the forum, I had to visit the shop when I was in Colorado. OldPotatoe and the shop were both great. Lots of vintage bikes hanging above Moots and other quality equipment. Just make sure you feed the meter. My visit cost me an extra $15 when I got a parking ticket. It was well worth it!

Just consider that the cover charge for all of the bike porn in Vecchio's. I've spent $15 to get into other places in Colorado and they weren't nearly as entertaining...;)

Oh, and another props for Peter. Great guidance and one of the coolest shops in the U.S.

I'm very sure, I made the trip to the Denver hand made show, to go to Peter's shop! About 50/50. A big thanks goes out to Choke right here on this forum for getting me there.

It was the highlight of my trip and something I'll never forget. I pretty sure we solved all the world's problems that afternoon. Worth the trip for sure.

Thanks for all you do Peter. This forum is a much better place with you posting here.

Chiming in to say thanks as well. Not sure when I'll make it to Boulder next, but a visit to your shop is at the top of the list when I do.

Best bit about my business as well - the clients I get to work with (I'm not in retail though).

And thanks from me down here as well Peter
