Yikes ...

So, while changing front gears from the smaller ring to the larger, I heard a suspicious snapping sound and it didn't shift. I clicked back and forth uselessly for awhile, before checking the cable (which was slack) and prodding the front derailleur a few times. I guess the cable snapped. The back derailleur is making some odd clicking sounds too. I've been entirely spoiled by the awesome tune-up job that Alex did for me on my Giant OCR2 (which has been running absolutely flawlessly). It's a new bike after all. I know for a fact that the cables need to stretch out (if not snap ...) and I'm sure a lot of other things will need to be tweaked as it settles down.

Well, Alex said he'd be willing to show me how to change the stem around, so maybe I can ask him what he thinks about the rest of the state of this bike.

Now for something completely different (Monty Python, anyone?): Revit, oh Revit, why are you taking so long to install ???
