It's frustrating as all hell. I've looked into ways to rescue it, but I guess it's not meant to be. It's not a bad bike to have for scooting around town. If I could replace the dropouts on it (to sort out the pesky 126/130 spacing problem) for a reasonable price, it'd be like having a whole new road bike.
