LUCKY OR UNLUCKY ?

THE OTHER DAY I BROKE THE FRONT DERAILER ON MY BIKE. SO TODAY I WENT TO REPLACE IT. I HAD CALLED AHEAD TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD SET ME BACK $50.00 IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SO I TOOK OFF FOR THE SHOP. ONE BLOCK FROM THE SHOP THER WAS A SNAP AND MY CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND THE CRANK. WHAT A DAY. SO I HAD THEM REPLACE BOTH DERAILER SHIFTERS AND CABLES,AND THE CHAIN WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS GOING TO COST?. 100.00 MAYBE 120.00 NO ALL THAT AND IT COST 70.00 WITH TWO LEG STRAPS AND A 4.00 TIP. MY BIKE THAT NOW HAS ALL THAT PLUS 2 NEW TIRES AND NEW BRAKES AND BRAKE CABLES ALSO HAS 1840 MILES AND RUNS LIKE ITS BRAND NEW. I WAS GOING TO POST A PHOTO BUT I CAN'T FIND ONE, I KNOW THAT I HAVE THEM BUT WITH 4000+PHOTOS ITS TAKES SO LONG TO FIND 1 PHOTO. YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT TILL I POST ONE.
