Friend brought her bike over. She rides it everywhere, and is utterly non-mechanical. Nice old Univega tourer. I degreased and pressure washed it, repacked and adjusted loose front hub, trued and tensioned front wheel, straightened bent derailleur hanger and adjusted rear derailleur (it was shifting into the spoke protector and failing to get smallest cog), replaced front brake pads, lubed everything, rewrapped bars, installed Velox rubber bar end plugs, replaced her ripped saddle w/ one I had sitting around, lubed chain, greased seatpost and stem. Took 2 hours, cost $22. Made me feel good! Karma stuff.
