I think “grounded” is the word I’ve used to describe the ride- it’s stable- there’s not a lot of “give” to the bike. It’s a confident bike!
I did! 👍
first thing when I stripped that bolt, ok, second thing, first was remove the part. It’s basically a carriage bolt, squared under the head. I’ll be replacing that. It also needs cleaning, and one of the jockey wheels is missing a tooth.
My fiancé is going on tour for a couple days, and I’ll have the time to do a proper clean and lube, down to the frame. I want to wax that frame too. Then put the whole thing under my pillow at night.
