only has to hold up two more weeks anyway, then i fly back to seattle. going to sell the frame and the still use able parts here in berlin. just wanted to see once what a half year of riding would do to a bike...
No, this is what a year and a half of poor maintenance and not using the right chain will do to a bike.
Not to be dramatic, but you may be one pedal stroke away from losing your teeth.
We cannot control the unforseen...but we can control what we can control. Proper parts and bike maintenance are *well* within our control.
