Good to hear. If what you have is what you like, perfect.

Awesome! Rigid can be a lot of fun and a good challenge. It makes each ride more interesting in a good way.

Odd. Perhaps thats where some time and money can be spent. New cables and housing may be all thats needed, or perhaps the shifter and/or derailleur arent in good working order.
