[RBW] Do you leave it alone...or must you monkey?

It seems perpetual for me. I've already changed out most of my new to me Sam Hillbourne I've had a month or so to mostly get it like I like it. I just changed tires today. New Dia Compe Ene Ciclo thumb shifters are on the way to be installed next. If I get bored for a project I tend to look on CL
