Cleaned it up good first and then set up the brakes. Didn't have anymore 9 speed chains on hand so I had to order one in. Short one shifter cable too. I need to restock on small parts, LOL! I'm going to run it friction for awhile or maybe even leave it like that. Right now it's got some Vittoria Randonneur 700 x 32 tires and a relatively heavy set of newer Mavic CXP22 on it. Probably great for dirt road use but on the road I think I'll run a different setup.
