I bought a brand new U-08 in blue, and although the ride might have been fine, I couldn't get over the lousy shifting. It was taken from me at gunpoint in NY Central Park about two weeks after I bought it, but it took all I could muster to set the shifting so that I could actually get off a few successful rear changes. Brakes OK, ride OK, front derailleur fine, rear unbearable. Am I in a different movie from the list member that would spend money to bring one of these up to original condition. You swapped the rear derailleur right?
