cables and housing, as well as brake pads, will be replaced. I forgot to mention that.
The cables came with the bike in 2000 and the brake pads, though very good when fresh, are rock hard now.
I'm amazed at how well Jake stood up to time, but I've been told sometimes that I'm a little "too easy" on things.

My old pickup's tires, though driven every day, died not of wear, but of dry rot, still with most of the tread intact. Never wore out a clutch, either.

Jake should, after a proper refresh, last a long time.
