Dreamt I was riding my first road bike down gravel roads last night and it worked better than expected. Bought in the early 80's when I was in the Air Force, this was my first real bike not from a hardware store. Dug it out of the garage this morning to check everything, maybe an easy ride if it warms up. Front tire inflated easily (Presta), but had to reconfigure pump for back valve, which inflated and immediately emptied. Not only is it a Schrader but it doesn't have an inner core. Yeah, it's been a while.

Stole Schrader core from wife's ebike and took this for a quick spin in 37°F cold rain. Bike felt pretty good overall, really gotta squeeze to get even a little bit of braking. Shifting was smooth, at least rear derailleur.

@jerzone How long since it was last ridden?

@LovesTha Probably a decade or more. I had had a fella who builds wheels look it over but since I mostly rode MTB it didn't seem worth putting money into it at the time.
