    Just bought a new to me bike that has a road rash from the previous owner. I would like to get it fixed and can’t (allergic to fiberglass)/ don’t feel like doing it myself. Any shops in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area that does affordable/ decent work? Rather not ship it. Thanks

    Yeah but at least the bill to have someone else do it won't be astronomical

    I thought Swenson was in Virginia now?


    Yeah the fiberglass makes me break out in a rash. Tried fixing a boat a few years ago with a friend and I was miserable for three days.

    The edge of the bodywork at the one point is all the way through and would need matting I would assume

    Is it ours? You pay shipping and we'll repair damage for free. Then take to a painter to decal guy to do the rest. Email me [email protected]

  11. You need to get it to Andrew Swenson. I think he is in northern Virginia. How far is that from you?

    Swenson is in Richmond. I swiped my balls over Broome's and Eddies bodywork when I dropped mine off. He said you wouldn't mind :D

    I'm allergic to fiberglass work as well. I break out in sweat and profanity.
