I may be able to help.
...I have a decent quality 63cm-ish (don't remember just now) Schwinn Chicago frame built up with crappy parts-bin parts.

put a stick in your bandwagon wheel
This type of Potter bashing doesn't sit well with me.
I guarantee that Francesconi would not have ridden (even once) in critical mass, would not have pulled out of the JTTF, and would not have...

co-op
What you really need is somebody to show you.
If you do not know any more experienced cyclists, then I would go to one of the co-ops and have a mechanic show you how to do it.

Frame repair?
Does anybody know where in town to get a steel frame repaired?

my take
In the interest of complying with the audible warning law I just clack my brake levers.
But I usually find that any audible warning is a waste of time and that it's better to just make sure you can...

thanks for the tips.
that chainring is brand new and it would seem a shame to throw it in the parts bin and go get a used one.
what i'll probably do is get an 18 tooth cog to put on the flip...

I owned the Electra Amsterdam for a time. That bike is really only built for cruising a mile or two at a time around town.
You may test ride it at a bike shop and cruise it around the neighborhood,...

Sweet!
What a happy story.
I think many people would be more enthusiastic about biking if they had new-ish bikes to ride. Lighter bikes with a bit of zip.

more ideas:
Go to the top of Rocky Butte, or Mt. Tabor (a volcano in the city limits.)
If you can get a hold of a bike, ride up. The view will be worth it and the ride down is a kick in the pants too.
