Wow. I had no idea that these were even considered decent bikes. This one was the low end version and it never got used. I repacked the front hub when I found it to be stiff and I expected it to be al pitted out like the outside components but it came out like buttah. I can't remember why we replaced the rear wheel, except maybe because it had a flat and I wanted a quick change for the trainer. I found the original rear, maybe I'll swap over the tire/tube, except that then I need another roll of rim tape. I'm still looking at shifters, whether downtube or new 9/10/11 brifters. Can't decide. I should try some WD40 on the current ones to see if they free up. I'll do that now so it can soak in overnight.
Oh, the reason for this whole project is that my daughter thought the bike was "cute" with the white frame and blue lettering.
