Hi everyone, So since I've been away, I have fixed the derailer issue, Just a little grease in the cables... I have installed new tires and put on bar tape. I actually got to ride the bike today!. I road 4.5 miles around neighborhood roads. Man was that a little difficult. Being a little overweight, I had a little bit of a hard time making it that far, and when i got home, I just collapsed. However, overall the bike road pretty well, not as smooth as i thought it would be though. Maybe that's an issue with the drivetrain, I don't know. Also I've noticed that my back and neck hurt a little bit after the ride. Any thoughts are welcome! Also, I have not trued the wheels yet.
