I wish I could kick him in the balls. He did throw me some brand new drop bars, pedals, and a brake lever for free though. He was totally grilling out with his family when I arrived, little kid riding around on a trike and everything. Real nice family and house, so I won't point fingers. I don't think he realized.
BUT, thanks for the advice everyone. I'll get a chain asap because I need to ride this mofo.
