Hey guys, remember this thing?
Yeah, so it's been like that since December.
But the trailer pulling has put the fire back under me and I even PUT SHIFT CABLES ON IT last night. Wow. Hopefully tonight: the chain and maybe the brake cables. I'm hoping to get it at least rolling for a nieghborhood test this weekend. I'm very reluctant to throw any money at it, but I would like some different bars and to totally rebuild the wheels on it. As it is, the rear is just barely usable.
The awesome thing is that I found the brake lever I pulled of of my MIL's bike when I put some integrated shifters on her bike. They were much cleaner and they had a Campyesque quick release built into the lever. That is going to be handy for undoing the Canti brakes when needed.
