The provenance of this bike is rather suspicious to say the least. The rd shot is as receiving. The Dawes is a coop reject. The guys said it was going to get dumped, I had to take pity on it. I ran the serial number, it came back clean. I also ran a WA state driver's license number that's engraved on the cranks, that go no hit on the state's DOL database.

I've made progress and bringing out the torch and hairdryer made big difference.
