No real complaints except for having to hold the rear shifter in gear with my right hand so it doesn't change on it's own.

I need to put some Loctite on the front brake acorn nut. When it gets loose, the caliper arms shimmy (shimmer?) badly and the brake makes more noise than usual. I took it out for about six miles tonight of dumpster diving and looking for bikes on a neighboring communities trash night.

It becomes a utility bike when I throw on one of my Timbuk2 bags on me.

I'm still really happy with it.

Happy Riding, y'all!
Nice!! love the old school hardtail frames - you can do so much with them. Many years of utility/cargo riding on that frame still ahead, right on!!
