I was given this bike last year. The person said his kids had grown out of bikes. So I checked it over. Seemed ok.
Recently I decided to try to get all my bikes in good condition. Will sell a few.
I got this out and rode it into town. Was slipping in the top 2 freewheel cogs. It has a cheap Hyperglide copy freewheel on it. So I got a proper Shimano 5 speed block, from my stock. Its the older full height teeth. That have twisted tooth technology.

I then biked to a town 12 miles away. It was going good.

Theres a river with a humped back bridge. On the other side of the bridge is a bike path, with a blue signpost. I have been down there a little bit on my Blue Falcon a couple of years ago. Was ok then. But the weather weve been having has made Noah get his carpentry tools out again. :roll:
So this path is very eroded.

think its about 20" deep. It was bad for 20 feet or so.

I got back to the road and biked to my sisters about 13 miles from there. Then did the 5 miles home from there in 23 minutes. Not much slower than my Marin does it :)
