I am getting use to its limitations of only 10 gears. It will be my workout beast to get me down to 195 and a new Trek road bike!
be safe

Sorry about the fall!
It's part of the learning curve. I usually fall at least once each year. It happens to the best of us in funky situations we can never anticipate.
Are you forgetting something from your opening post?
Forget the Trek!
Go after that Paramount from when you were a teenager!
BTW, when were you a teen? We'll help track down the appropriate vintage Paramount! I have one from my early teens ('71) and one from my mid 20s ('83). They would be the last bikes to go if I went bankrupt.
