I need two mechanics for unpacking and assembling 7 bikes on 9 July and then again on 18 July, to disassemble and pack those same bikes into bike boxes for air travel.
The customer is a tour group of cyclists arriving from abroad. I need someone to unpack their bikes and assemble them properly. Assembly will probably just comprise fitting pedals, seats, turn handlebars and possible fit chains and rear jockey bolts. at the end of the tour, the reverse has to happen again.
The bikes would have been packed before departure, probably by the customer themselves and could arrive here in any state of assembly or disassembly. I've seem some incredible packing techniques over the years, so expect anything. There will be some precious ones, so expect lots of bubble wrap and high expectations and fuss.
I'll need one proper* mechanic and an able assistant. I can't take chances with someone who doesn't understand headset adjustment, torque, gear checking etc. I don't want customers complaining about the assembly and there is only one chance of getting it right. Nobody on tour would like to return to base for a readjustment.
They arrive on 9 July and will stay at Mar Hall in Clydebank. They'll depart from there as well, on 18 July. Times to be confirmed.
We can confirm a fee once we are in discussion.
Apply within, as they say. You'll have your own tools and work stands.
*Proper means proper. Professional or serious, capable amateur. I'd like you to do some customer interfacing as well, by way of handing over the bike and asking the customer to check X,Y and Zee if it is to his liking. Yes, it is an all-male group.
