Looks like I am stuck here in Auburn Alabama for a few days until parts come in to fix my bicycle.  Had to call a tire place and get a 30 mile ride into Auburn.
The Peddlar Bicycle shop in German Town put on a supposedly high end crank.  It turned out that I should have never gone into that place to get my bicycle serviced.
Now the cycle shops in Auburn no nothing about the cycle tourist needing on the spot service like we normally get.
Some guy at one place said it would take a couple of days to look at and so on.  Give me a break!
Others said about a week!
