For labour? Jesus, they shafted you.
I wasn't happy about it, but starting to get used to it, or at least half expect it. I would like to find a better place that was not too far from home though.

This evenning in my ride home, while coming to a stop at a red light, I fell over while clipped in. I had my left foot unclipped but for whatever reason I decided to try to put both feet down. I lost my balance and fell to my right. Bicycle is fine. I managed to twist far enough to land on my butt and I'm fine as well. Only injury is my pride.
Classic n00b mistake.
I still have floating bone chips on both elbows from that ... it's quite embarassing, but happens to everyone!

I won't go back if I can find something better.

Regarding shops, service, and costs. In my opinion, a shop that provides good service is going to be at a premium price. As a customer, you are paying for the shops expertise, facilities, and liability that if something goes wrong, they will make it right. If you could tolerate a lower service level, like ordering parts online or having a non-enthusiast shop do the service, it's an option.
But keep in mind, by not supporting what you enjoy, you can't expect it to last.

The type of costs that John has been paying would be unheard of [sorry to keep rubbing salt in the wound John].
It was a bit of an experiment/learning experience. I wanted to find a supplier of good value for money titanium frames and create some sort of on-line business from it.

Uh, excuse me a little here, I've been out on the town tonight and have had more than a few beers..., but weren't you just complaining about service charges? Correct me if I've got something wrong, and I'm far from being any kind of super-service-man, but I'd expect that someone (planning to be) dealing in frames would be able to easily do the tasks that you were talking about a page or two ago on their own.
At least I'd hope that my frame dealer would be able to.
There's a bit of a disjunction in all that, if that's the right word.
