I have found my workable solution for now. I've owned a Sam Hilborne for almost a year, and just replaced the chain (9 speed). I commute on it daily, and it is my long ride/grocery getter/errand runner as well. I noticed a slight knocking in the free hub and felt a tinge of annoyance when I thought if my bike ever really broke down I would have to bus it or drive.
I found a slightly too-small MB-3 (1992) on Cragilist and picked it up as my beater bike. That thing is nimble! And I have my solution. The Sam will still see the lion's share of the riding by the MB-3 awaits the days of repair, or just wanting a different ride. I already enjoy both of them more because of the other's presence. Oh geez, I'm waxing like their my kids... Tim/Seattle On Tuesday, January 22, 2013 6:48:04 PM UTC-8, murphyjrfk wrote: > > Suppose the title says it all.
