Problem is, anything on CL or eBay is likely to be 60 miles away, so just as much driving either way. I'd keep my labor rate pretty reasonable since I was planning to do more work on the bike anyway, but I'm not doing it for free.
I'm pretty sure I've got an extra huffy rd you can have for postage if you need it.
I might take you up on that.
Also, you never posted 'after' photos of your bike... you know the forum runs on photos right?
Not much visible changed from the "before;" just tires, chain, cables and repacked every bearing on it.
