When the 13yo girl texts you from her vacation on the opposite side of the country to ask you to finish her bike, you finish the damn bike even though your knee dislocated half way through. I cannot get the front derailleur to work so she's gonna have a 1x and learn to increase her cadence from about 40.
@enobacon I took the cockpit off the Fuji my then 12yo (now 17yo) frankenbiked together from parts in the bike coop bins with his dad. It's 2x9 brifters that may or may not match that were used before they got wrecked a few times by the 12yo. I think the cranks and derailleurs are from the Bridgestone but the cassette and shifters are from the Fuji. The derailleur can move but the shifter doesn't have the pull to get it over there. We ordered brifters from this century. 🤞
