    Can anyone recommend a good mechanic? Specifically in the northern OC or southeast LA area. I like the guys @the Path & Adrenalin but they are not open on Sundays, which makes it inconvenient, since I usually don't ride during the week, and hope to leave my bike somewhere on a Sunday and retrieve it before the weekend.

    And I've finally admitted to myself that my lack of general mechanical knowledge, 45+ hr work week, and keeping up with 3 young children doesn't allow me time to work on my bike...

    Any references would be much appreciated.

    What do you need done?? I live in BP and have a Park stand and a few tools... I USED to work as a mechanic at a bike shop WAY back when and can still do most things myself...
