Winter seems to be settling in early around C&V lately.
Lets cut out the sniping, OK?

Brought this one out and took "as purchased" photos yesterday afternoon. Haven't touched it yet, but two things were immediately apparent:
1. The rear derailleur is badly bent inboard. I've never tried to fix a derailleur before; will probably box it up and replace it with a newer Shimano.
2. The 1 1/4" tires, Shrader valves and kickstand. :-) Confirmation of the bike's "recreational" status. But still - so LIGHT for a casual steelie. They did good with that.
