Not sure if Phil is changing the format but the class in December had a bike or two that he used as an example and the class was more like an interactive lecture. He uses the bike on the stand as an example but covers concepts for all designs.

Before I took the class I was hoping to bring in one of my bikes and use the class as a chance to do some repairs but I'm glad he didn't run it that way. You get 15 people in a room each with a bike and tools, suddenly everyone is in their own world and no one is learning much. Phil runs a great class.
