There are five derailleur screws that have to be turned once a year or so, maybe.
There are rear brakes that need to be adjusted.
Wow dat is a heck of a lot of extra maintenance, thatz why you should consider an IGH coaster brake equipped bike.
Less time/oil required for lubing the short inexpensive 1/8" chain;
No derailer screws to screw around with;
No brake adjustment - EVER!
Disadvantage: doesn't have the hipster cachet of a POS SS-FG
