How do you like the half-step gearing?
It turned out to be a real cream puff! It was pretty grungy when I found it, but all original. I just went through it, servicing/cleaning it up and replacing consumables. I actually just finished up the refurb on this bike and that was a picture on my first outing, so I don't have much saddle time yet to comment on the gearing.
