tuning and repairs of the bike provisionally named Cindy

In what desperate condition I found her: she had fallen from her rack, the handlebars had turned in the steering tube, the kick-stand was broken off, the dérailleur was bend from falling or some other nasty coming-too-close.

Here's what Matt from Bikechain and me did on the first day:

• remove the little steel piece on which the dérailleur is mounted and bend it back, closer to its original shape.
• reassemble the dérailleur and adjust: cable tension at the shifter (on the handlebars), low and high stop points
• tighten the handlebar cone and the handlebar tilt
  
• grease the axles for the V-breaks and the break cables; readjust the brake-springs and cable-tension
• remove the stub from the broken kick-stand

Here's what's still left to do:

• buy and install fenders (mounting holes seem to be there, although not much space between wheel and frame)
  
• readjust the wheels (which are slightly uneven)
• buy and install a rack (didn't see any mounting holes for that though :-(
• buy and install a new kick-stand
• lights -- that's a whole story by itself

so far, so good, Cindy.
