 Back In the Saddle Again
I picked up the bike Saturdy afternoon and today is my first chance to ride it. The left/front brifter has been replaced with a bar-end shifter. It took about 10 miles of riding to get used to shifting and trimming with it. I have big hopes that it will bring an end to all of the front derailleur problems. I think the bike shop mechanic is really tired of battling it as well. I am still trying to get my riding lesback and I really need to drop some weight. The ride was a bit of a struggle, but I got through it.
