Trying to figure out where to mount the SA shifter at on the drop bars ..... Anyone done this ? If so where did u put it that was easy to operate ? Can anyone advise me as to the color - so I can find touch up paint for the scratches , gouges , ect --- it must have had a hard life before it got to me , LOL

The Giant built bikes are leagues ahead of the current made in China Schwinns! -Adam
spent some time with him this morning - tru'd the wheels up , did more cleaning , wrapped the bars, adjusted the controls, replaced the stem , ect.....
im still leaning bicycle mechanics - working thru manuals, dvd course , and trial and error ...also the you tube channels are a god send , they have helped me figure out alot .... this mornings venture of tru up the wheels is my first success at that task , feels good , gotta say .... 8)
- I MADE MY OWN TRUING STAND out of an old set of road forks , and wire ties , it works well, but a park one is what im looking to get , its on the xmas list , as well as a park stand
