We are all just trying to get by in this crazy bing-bong world
Unlitter. Beyond picking up your own trash, do you pick up litter that you did not create? When you see a stranger straining and carrying something heavy, do you stop to lend a hand? Do you try to buy generational products that will last a lifetime?
Retailing is complicated as it is difficult to trace the path of manufacture to a responsible party. We could spend all of our time researching products in an Omnivore's Dilemma-detective-sort of way, but then we wouldn't have time to repair inner tubes. I give a shit, you give a shit, so Coco's will continue to source as sensibly as we can.
Coming this week, Coco's will start selling the Made in Germany SKS Rennkompressor. Per SKS, "For close to 40 years, the Rennkompressor has been the most popular pump in international cycling and the sole legitimate ancestor of all floor pumps." $55.
And, because I give a shit, Coco's will sell consumable parts for SKS pumps. This is a practical heirloom. A quality product that is worth protecting, servicing and handing down.
"I Give a Shit" button free to those who make a purchase. Ask for a button and do give a shit.
