Getting paid takes the fun out.

This gal at work picked ub a schwinn breeze 3speed a few weeks out and asked me if would dazzle it up and do all necessary repairs. Sure for fifty bucks. So she agrees and delivers the bike and hands me a hundred bucks for parts. Not really sure if the fee is included there. So this being my first schwinn overhaul I researched and learned a few things about schwinns. First thing I learned was about the tires...no big deal...still easy to get. The three speed hub still operates but the cable's housing is cracked and faded so I discover that it all has to be replaced. No big deal, bikeman4you showed me how it's done. And I been applying a ton of elbo grease and still so much to do...what a pain in the ass this has become.
And there's still the house and wife and work and pets and I NEED TO GO FOR A RIDE PEOPLE!
Never again.
