Is my new ride OCP or ???
Picked this blue beauty up about a month ago and I only get to keep her for about another month or so but while she's mine I need to get her into shape. Some of the guys at work have helped me get started but I need the opinion of some real OCP'ers. I know I don't have a white garage door, wheels aren't aligned, seats too low, bars to high, and it has a basket but beyond that what do I need to do?
Yep, one more month and I can trade this in for my real bikes. Thank God I opted to have my foot fixed in the winter. The weather has been crappy enough I haven't missed not being able to ride too much.

What, no rear-view mirrors? What's your top speed? Presta or schrader valves in the tires? Any plans on upgrading to disc brakes?
That's hilarious - get better soon!
