New bike
Hi, I'm new to this forum, great site!
I just bought a "new" used bike, a U.S made Cannondale Criterium 600 TRI/Road with Bontreger "Race" wheels and Shimano 105's, cat eye speedo, and Michelin Speedium tires.
I thought I got a good deal as it's in nearly mint condition and used lightweight road bikes are going for stupid dollars here in South Florida.
Anyway, my question....
I have an old Schwinn Paramount 564 aluminum with old style shifter levers on the frame tubes, and this Cannondale has Shimano "7 Speed" shifters on the brake lever housing and I shifted them down but for the life of me I can't shift them back up? Are they broken or do I have a paradigm shift problem :-) How do I get them to shift up?
Any help will be appreciated,
Gary
