while it was still daylight, I pushed myself to get down to the malecon with my bike and test it out. it's never had much use until this year, after the new tire, because it would always go flat too quickly. now both tires still leak, but very slowly, and I have that cheap pump I rebuilt with a good hose to keep them inflated.
so, it turns out I have no shift ability on the front (left hand shifter) at all, and the rear shift needs some adjustment too. and the assbone-breaking seat needs a replacement for sure. all it takes is a mile before I want to quit. and did.
