About

For business inquiries: [email protected] Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/bikefarmer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_EJ48NMTTBY3TCFTN53B2 Inspired by Bob Ross, the BikeFarmer videos are more of a 'Watch Me Work' style than a 'How To Fix Bikes" channel, the BikeFarmer videos will follow lifelong shop owner and mechanic, Andy Q as he works through bicycle projects, mostly refurbishing used bikes for resale, but also anything related to shop life. This channel is designed for anyone with an interest in bicycle bicycle tuneups, repair, used bicycle refurbishing. I don't claim to know the best methods for any of this, but I am a professional bicycle mechanic at a small town shop specializing in practical bicycles and general purpose bikes for everyday people. I'd love to see feedback, comments and discussions on all aspects of my work. Hopefully I'll learn as much you do. Every bike has its own set of circumstances and problems to work through.

Video Description

I'm about 6 feet tall. I'm a 56! NO YOU'RE NOT! You are a LARGE! 56cm is 22" so you must be a 22! NO! I raced a 19 in college! BIKE SIZING IS STUPID! So if you want to know your bicycle size or want to know what size bike to get your kid for christmas, YOU ARE SCREWED! There's no way to answer that question intelligently and everything you believe to be true is completely relative to what we observe in physical reality so get over it!
