Everyone I went through the whole chain and had to re-lube and bend each piece to fix the little skip. Turns out I just had some rough wear on the old chain and needed to break it up a bit.
Next big move is going to be replacing the existing rear and front cog sets and front derailleur. Hopefully this wont be to big of a task for my experience level. But if it is I'm glad I got you guys to bounce questions off of and get things solved. Also glad that it is not seemingly going to be to expensive.
The front chain rings on mine are 52/40 Suginos, and they're still in great shape despite the age of the bike. With a 13-28 rear set, it isn't the best climber I've ever ridden, but 40/28 gets me up anything around here.
