It was time to put the 36 year old Functional to rest. Her cassette and chain got rusted out from disuse over the perpetual scamdemic months, as I was working from home all the time. The steel frame was starting to take a beating, too, that she couldn’t really come back from.
So I traded it in for something hardier in a Giant Rincon from Whistle Bikes. I might change out the pedals for metal ones, and add some bottle holders.
Also, who uses up a sticker on a Millennium Falcon shirt?

Old school mtg, nice.
Giant described this on their site as a “starter” bike. Never really understood the concept of that, unless they mean to say a lot of the factory components weren’t meant to last that long or whatnot. That’s true of some guitars, tbh.
I should avoid doing this on my tablet because it changes what I type without telling me – *mtb
