A bit of an overly-positive review, but a good look at how the '77 model updated itself from the previous years.
I'm surprised he brushed off the freewheel failure though. That's a catastrophic failure on a bloody new bike.

I think if I provided a bike for a road test I sure would want to tag along and be ready with spare wheels, etc if only to ensure a situation like this one could be resolved quickly. It almost seemed like that was the case here. Otherwise, it was quite a coincidence the shop owner was on the same road at the same time and behind the road test!
