it shifts great for the most part, but then, i haven't adjusted the front derailleur yet.

the only issue though, is there is no B-screw on my rear derailleur. i guess Shimano Tourney's don't have one. but the lowest back gear works pretty well assuming i stay in the lowest front gear.

i'll work on the front derailleur when i have the right tools to reach the adjustment screws. then the breaks are after that.

im so close to making this bike commute worthy, thanks so much for your help guys.
