The bike really only needed to have the front derailleur cable tightened, and I could have ridden it no problem. I still have the time to enter this challenge and get the riding done, but now I don't have a less than $100 bike!
I could have entered the Stumpy or a 1989 Schwinn Tempo, but it appears that the spirit of this self policing contest is to rescue a POS and make a worthy 100km bike of it.
