This morning I brought the bike out from where it had been stored for the
last three years.
I found a few broken spokes and some rust on the chain. I brought it to
a local shop for a deep cleaning and repairs.
So far, I know I'm in for the cleaning, plus a new front wheel, a new
chain, new inner tubes and possibly having the tires replaced with the
Continental Gatorskins I requested.
This certainly cuts down on my shopping list at Performance: helmet,
skins, gloves (although I did find a pair of gloves in my garage today).
So with the bike in the shop, I feel I'm committed to riding now, because
I'm now into it for probably just over $200 — and that's a lot of money to
us right now.
