Some old used parts, black spray paint, one trip to the bike shop, and one hour on Ebay is what brought this bike back from the dead. Only cost 75 bucks and a nice handful of hours rebuilding. Rim brakes are set up better than half of all disk brakes. Heavy is good in this case, and yes the Grip Shift works...for now.
