I think that shop in Redmond Passion is right behind my law office...

I haven't even got my bow out yet.  I know I need a new string and need to order that.  Then I'll have to retune etc.  Then I need new arrows and my honey do list is still long...  Then I don't have a hunting partner/shooting buddy now that my cousin is going to Iraq.  To top it off it's halibut and lingcod season and my boat is still in the shop.  I'm a mess and way behind this year.

Redmond Cycle is ok. I have not had much work done there but what they did was fair and good. Gerk's Alpine hut on the other hand I have had mixed experience with. They told me one time that my whole bike needed a new sprocket, chain and rear wheel gears when I asked them to put on a new chain. I took my bike home and put on a new chain myself to fix the issue. At that moment I decided to start tuning my own bikes. I still let shops work on them but for the most part I do a lot of the work myself. The tools are cheap and it only takes a little bit of effort. I ride 12-14 miles a day 3-5 days a week.

I got some new arrows just about ready to put some broadheads on. Those should arrive next week.

Here is one of my bikes which I ordered each item seperately and assembled myself. It takes mountain bike and street tires or even rims of different sizes. Just have to adjust the brakes real quick.

I used to have two treks. One I liked and one that I didn't. I still think that if you are not using it to commute or for real hardcore recreation that a cheapo would be your best bet. As in one that got run over by your wife last week.

I used to do some of that ride every morning when I lived on the other side of the valley. I liked it much better than my current commute. I see expensive bikes and lots of spandex. Then I laugh  :chuckle:

I had a walmart special up until this last fall.   I paid about $700 for something, but still couldn't tell you what.  Must mean I am softcore........I was thinking about commuting...20 some miles to work and then back, but the Wenas wind would KILLLLLLLL me.
