Ummmm, i think Angle Lake (in Seatac) is the among the best recumbent
shops around. Maybe Dale was having a bad day. There's no question
he's busy, but that will change as soon as the rain begins keeping
his customers indoors. As far as helpful goes, I've found that if
you want his advice or opinion you really have to ask for it.
Otherwise he lets people learn things on their own.

Re getting a 3x9, whoever builds wheels for Angle Lake does a superb
job.

Welcome back to Seattle!
