The last department store bike I bought was back in '98. I ended up giving it away a few years ago. Feeling as if you're fighting with the bike just to get it to go is frustrating at best.
It had loads of "Shimano" hardware all over it, the indexed shifters were anything but, and the brakes required constant adjustment. I rode very little. My recently acquired "Krystal Mark IV", a cheapie from the 80s, is loads better, even with the clunky hardware. So far I've invested about $85 in the bike. That includes purchase ($2), tune-up ($50), and lights ($30 something). -- Scott Loveless www.twosixteen.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
