Summary
My life revolves around bikes already but I have lots to learn, I'm hoping to train more on the job and help the community grow! I have a fair bit of bike knowledge already and make youtube videos restoring them when I'm not fixing bikes for my circle of friends the past year. I worked as a bike mechanic for Dean Jamieson at The Bike Maintenance Shop for a few years but they moved further out of Auckland to semi-retire, since then I've been fixing other people's bikes as well as building custom bikes to sell.
