last pic for a while - another nds because just before I took it, I discovered the front tire was flat (old tube), which canceled my ride, which pissed me off, which caused me to snap a quick pic instead of a better composed one. The chain skate was caused by both a slightly bent derailleur hanger and new-looking atom freewheel that would not play nicely. I replaced it w/ a suntour and now all is good! I put some gum wall torelli "open tubulars" on it, much better I think.
