Has anyone else had a bad experience with Gus Salmon? According to him all he wants to do is work with a 'very selected group of paint shops and friends'. I've been customizing bikes for three years and needed custom decals for a Le Tour I'm restoring. At first he was helpful. He answered my newbie questions. I've never painted a bike and need to learn the most professional way (my father-in-law is teaching me how to paint) to handle the decals. He gave me pricing and I sent photos and a description of what I needed. After nearly a week of no response I asked for an update, his attitude does a 180 and tells me he's not interested.
He's right, I should of done a better job of making a commitment. Maybe he thought I was a tire kicker. No, far from it. But he never followed up and only gave me attitude when I tried to clarify things.
Here's a Columbia Jet Rider that we restored two years ago. This tied for first place at a local vintage bike meet last year. Yup, we're just a couple no-name mechanics with too much time on our hands.
