Took the Congo Jammer out on a 20 mile shakedown cruise before I paint her up real purdy. And since this one is not staying with me and I have no idea who'll end-up with her, nor what amount of common sense they will have I decided to leave my brain and concern for my work at home and just thrash it across every curb, pothole or grassy knoll in my path.
Best idea I've ever had! It's much more fun when you just treat it like it's a hand-me-down and you're 12 again. Sure I blew out the chain tension'r I made from a derailer right away...
but I sorta knew it was mounted too low and wouldn't last, it would have made it had I drove like Mrs. Daisy was on the handlebars, but remember, I'm 12 in this scenario....."Hey ya'll watch this!"
The bike over all was a blast to ride, bum knee and all! It's comfortable, takes hills nicely, jumps curbs with ease and her reflection cruisin past a store window looks like the lovechild of a Huffy and a Hummer.
Had tons of fun cruisin the beach boardwalk, and knowing the looks and thumbs ups I got from beach bobs & betties were directed at a couple of old WallyMart "Girls" Moutain Bikes was just flat out cool.
