Hosed the big chunks off it today, aired up the seriously rotted DURO tires and took it for a spin. Even with gaping crevices in the tread and sidewalls it handled quite nicely. It feels much more solid than my Boardwalk, is that just me or is there something to it? They have the RD set so it shifts from the smallest cog to the next to biggest and the shifter is about ready to buy the farm, very "notchy". The shifter has a full gear worth of travel beyond 6th gear, they could have set it so 6th at the rear was in that overlap and 1st on the shifter would have been able to reach the big cog. Moot point now though, the shifter's on it's way out and a trigger shifter is on it's way. It has a 52t chainring, at the back end I may be off on my 26t big cog guess, could be bigger, no markings on the freewheel that I can see but it feels good so whatever it is it stays. Brake pads are fossilized, getting it stopped was a close one eye, pucker up and hope for the best experience.
