Unfortunately my idiocy doesn't end there as I never got around to ordering a spare inner tube and none of the local bike shops carry 28" tubes. I've ordered 2 from Flying Pigeon LA so I'll have a spare from now on.

Current totals:
Bike..........$328
Parts..........$26
Maintenance....$43
Labor...........22 hrs

Availability..17/26 commutes (65%)
Breakdowns....2
Mileage.......80 mi.
IMHO - give it up. Approx $400 in 80 mi, plus 22 hrs labor ?
Go for the Worksman cycle !
