I think its been a month since I last posted anything so I better get back on track. Its surprising because I have a new bed thats been letting me sleep better and longer, but I've fallen off on many of the things which were keeping my schedule together before. Well perhaps not many... but enough. And I guess the fact that I don't really use the computer at home anymore has stymied some of the creative opportunities there but whatever.
So the bike is well, screwed. And this isn't an easy fix. Well, relatively speaking its easy compared to some of the things you could do to a bicycle, but its neither a fast nor quick fix, and will require more than a couple pennies. Basically I sheared the pedal threads on the crank. Not so helpful for much more than teaching you how to ride with one leg, which is in fact quite helpful sometimes. Not now.
Other than that fairly major fadoogle, my bike was in ok fashion, minus the back breaks, front breaks, front wheel hub, seat, stem-threading, oh and the fact that 7 years after the initial purchase, I've finally found out the sizing may be wrong for me, which counters many years of stubborn refusal to admit to friends there might be something wrong with how freakishly high my seat always was (I don't think a change in geometry would change that at all). I wish I wish I wish.... I had a genie bottle, that'd probably be better thanything else I might ask for.
