Clown Bike

This has been my ‘car’ for the last 2 days. Hopefully the car will be out of the shop today. They ‘guaranteed’ that if I left it overnight last night it’ll be ready first thing this morning. If not, all hell is going to break loose.

I got a new mirror, this one is just barely long enough to be useful, unlike the last one I tried. It also has regular metal mounting hardware, so if I need to extend the arm, I probably can with $2 worth of hardware from Home Depot.

The front gears need adjustment. I tried yesterday, but it still won’t shift into third while I’m riding. (Even though I had it shifting while I was working on it.) I think I finally cured it of shifting into neutral when shifting between first and second.

Specs:

• 21-speed (3x7) Schwinn Hybrid
• Aluminium rims
• Trigger shifters

The equipment currently on the bike:

• Headlight
• Taillight (back of seat post)
• Rack (came with bike) and basket (bolted to rack)
• Clown horn
• Mirror
• Fatass seat
• Quick release on the front wheel and seat post
• Master 5’ cable lock

I’m not in the habit of naming my possessions, but if I were, she’d be named Bozo.
