Upgrades for an old and worn out companion

I am not diminished by admitting I have made mistakes. I have led customers into repairs that they needed although it may have been wiser to follow the greater truth that a new bike was really the remedy they sought. I am repair station, mainly. I am interested in seeing your bike made fun again. Whatever you paid for it and whatever it is worth in the blue book is immaterial to me - if you want to ride it or another bike I am eager to make this a safe and reliable reality. Case in point is my beloved mountain bike. The time and effort put into maintaining it, cleaning and installing expensive and thoughtful hardware has not - until now - left me comfortable enough to ride all the time as I used to. My body and its limits have led me to ponder the expiration date on hard adventurous sport. Recently I added a trekking handlebar and found my arms, wrists, and hands much more cooperative - the cost of my decision was a pretty penny but I am hopeful of the long term pursuit of exploration and machine companionship.
