I finally had a chance to take her out for her first real ride yesterday hoping to suss out any hidden issues. After 30 fun miles, the verdict: she needs new tires and a new left crank arm. And DAMN what a ride! I love my old miyata, but this bike zips! Very stiff, I can really feel the power through the pedals, and the 9 speed cassette makes the “get up and go” and ascending so much more efficient. The crank arm issue was a surprise, but for a used 10 year old bicycle the thing felt amazing, obviously stored indoors and never ridden. I can’t wait to get my clipless mtb pedals on there and really fly.
