I never apply lube to a chain without cleaning it first. Plus I'd have to
unstitch the fabric chain case to get at it. Heck, I don't even know for sure
there's a chain in there!

And the gripes about 1" head tube seem misplaced. Cheap-o 1" may be

Of course we are nit-picking. The important stuff - ride, handling,
appearance - are all duly praise
The way I recommend folks remember is that you turn the barrel in the direction
that you're having trouble. If it won't shift up to larger cogs, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise. (both to the left when looking from behind the bike)
