the crank's bad..........

Ugh..........

I picked up a junk Gary Fisher a few weeks ago (made in China) and it's been a struggle. I changed all the cables and the rear V-brake and fixed an old rear wheel I had lying around, and I got on it and rode a few feet and realized the bottom bracket was loose. I took the crank arm off, and my crappy bottom bracket tool won't fit right, so I've got to order a new (or better) one. So, a week or so later, with a nice park tool bottom bracket later, I should have the bike ready to give to one of the kids, and he better appreciate it!

A great couple of weeks of riding - a bit cool but at least I got a couple of full rides in during January! Almost had my first one in february on friday but wimped out.

Haven't even started on Dad's bike yet - I'm looking into a complete bike tomorrow, so maybe this will be real easy!
