I did some more testing today and this thing feels great! I even spent an hour overhauling the bottom bracket with Lucas Red N Tacky grease which went pretty well, except for trying to remove the fixed cup which has notches instead of slots for a wrench. I probably need a cheater bar for that. Oh well, time to find some pipe. Anyhow, the green machine now pedals great post-overhaul. Really, really comfortable. Next step will be adding a rear rack for light touring. Note the swapped in MKS Sylvan Touring pedals which replaced the red clipless pedals that came with it.
