I have good news for most..errrr......some of you. I have dragged my old US Postal Service Trek out of the basement. It still works although only with great effort can the pedals be turned. Seems like there may be some rust in there and the brakes are problematic, shifting is very sluggish and the chain won't hop onto the smallest gear in back. However, I know my absence would create a big void in your reading experience when you arrive Monday in your office cubicle so I am coming to Logan! Leave a Reply. |
