The classes are six-week Complete Overhaul courses. You'll learn how to disassemble, reassemble, and adjust each major mechanical system of your bicycle week-by-week. This class assumes basic knowledge of tool use and simple maintenance. Costs $180 (More if you can, less if you can't). We'll have more basic two-week Tune-up classes in the near future. For now, here are the options: 1. Monday evenings 6-9pm Feb 6th - March 12th taught by Jesse Hautau 2. Wednesday evenings 6-9pm March 7th - April 11th taught by Froilan Email us at info@therecyclery.org if you would like to join one of the classes. Please specify which class you're interested in.
