Ok, let's try again.

So far all I've had to do was lube the chain (it needs to be replaced - stretched), patch rear tube, redish & lightly true rear wheel, grease seat post, adjust saddle and clean up a bit. While I had the rear wheel off I used frame tools to ensure the dropouts were aligned and then, once my newly true wheel was reinstalled, I used the derailleur hanger alignment tool to slightly adjust that. I also removed the back panels on the shifters and used liquid silicone spray because the pawls were gummy. Now it shifts fine. The bike has a "Community Cycling Center" sticker, which means they overhauled (likely) it and sold it to the gal I bought it from.
