Thank you all so much for your help these past few weeks. I have learned a lot more than I expected, and I am excited to get to know the ins and outs of maintenance, repair, and parts upgrades.

For those interested, here's the bike:

Rode around town for a while today, already got about 50 low speed skid stops under my belt. I can tell I don't have the muscles for a high speed stop yet, but the technique is coming along. SO MUCH FUN!

I only payed $200, which will make it the PERFECT commuter/first FG/campus cruiser/lock up/beater. I want to find some videos for how to disassemble bottom bracket, and get both the wheels off to look at the bearings and just do a really deep cleaning and lube. I am so excited to get a new saddle, maybe new bars and/or tape, and really make it my own. I think I'm officially hooked on FG. Looks like you guys haven't gotten rid of this newbie yet, as I'll be looking for a lot of help with parts upgrades.
