Yeah, that was totally me, in one of my non-jerseys. :) The seatpost rack (not in the pic, but on the bike last week) would have obscured your view of the fender. I had been riding it all week, until...

What are the odds I can get an old-school friction shifter working with the SRAM derailleur that came on my Swift? I just can't seem to get into the grip shift.

Most likely. I used to go to Mountain View Caltrain from my then-fiancee's house in S'vale all the time(it was a complicated drive-bike-train-bike to work arrangement). But now that we've married and...

So will a chain roller/tensioner as pictured above help keep the chain from jumping to the right (between the chain and the guard)? My Swift does this on occasion, and it's rather annoying.
