1489.0. "NEW ENGLAND CYCLE ACADEMY" by STAR::MCCARTHY () Fri Apr 06 1990 12:03

    
    
    Has anyone been to any of the workshops that the New England Cycle
    Academy puts on. I'm interested in starting a small repair shop in
    my basement and thought this might be a good source of info.

1489.1probably good...KOOZEE::PAULHUSChris @ MLO6B-2/T13 dtn 223-6871Fri Apr 06 1990 14:549
    	Back when there was an active DEC Bike Club, we had a meeting at
    Spit Brook with the founder of NECA as the speaker. I was impressed
    with his knowledge of bicycling, not only the what kind of stuff, but
    the more important why's.  Their development of the FIT KIT has marked
    them as one of the more rational (rather than dogmatic, traditional)
    outfits in cycling. 
    	While I have little knowledge of their workshops, Paul Randazzo,
    whose knowledge I respect, is sometime involved in these. 
    	I would be very interested in hearing from an attendee. - Chris

    I got the following info from Naults's in Manchester:
    
    New England Cycling Acedemy is in West Lebanon, NH
    Phone 603-298-7784
    
    I just called and talked to Bill Farrel, developer of the FIT KIT.  My
    wife is so small she's off the regular charts, but Bill was very
    helpful in advising me what to get (namely, a Terry).
    
    Happy trials, Tom
