If you get everything else (i.e. brakes) you can do your ride with no FD, just manually move the chain if necessary. I'm guessing a midnight charity ride will not be a challenging course, you can probably choose a chainring beforehand and not worry about it.
Yeah true, but I can't do it single speed, and I need the cable guide to hook up the RD. I have a FD and cable guide in my Amazon cart about to click order, just need to verify seat tube size this evening when I get home.
I agree about the Ti look, I actually thought it was at first in the pics the guy put on FB, then when we messaged he said it was steel. Oh well, still a good buy for $60 I think. If I ever decide to sell it with the fork and headset all included together I could probably make money on the deal.
I just love how pristine it looks. The yellow frame is pretty dirty and scratched and generally beat up looking.
