Well, I collected my bike and took it to another bike shop that I feel batter about, but both shops say it’s totally unnecessary to open a shifter to change the cables. They said they just thread them through without opening it.

I hope it works out OK. The guy at the local bike shop is not winning my confidence. He says that the guy who disassembled the bike (Bo) overdid it, and that he might have actually messed up the shifters by unnecessarily loosening the screws that hold the things together. He says that he’s not sure they’ll ever work again, AND that he’s never opened a shifter in his 15 years experience working on bikes. I just hope he doesn’t screw it up if it’s not already too late.

I’d be interested in your 14″. How much do you want for it? Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

I just spoke to him. He said the head tube is cracked, so he’s not selling it. He’s transferring all the parts to a Schwinn frame which he’ll sell on Ebay instead.

Yay!! I hope you get it, cudarider!

lol! Very funny, mixalive! Did he really say it was twisted?
