Specialized Rockhopper + Bike Rack, St John’s

Generic trunk mount bicycle rack

2015ish Specialized Rockhopper bicycle, either a medium or small. 3x7 Shimano drivetrain with hydraulic brakes.

I got it for free thinking it only needed tires. It’s gonna need tires, a tune on the shifters, the front brake disc trued, and a front brake bleed. I simply don’t have the time or energy (or tools) to fix it up. Frame is in good shape, as are all of the bearings.

My entire apartment building is covered with galvanized corrugated steel siding. Is getting a radio setup here even worth trying?

Basically title. I'm on the top floor with good sightlines, but the entire building is literally plated head to toe in steel siding. Looks like Oscar the Grouch's trashcan.

There's also a power substation next door and plenty of power lines nearby.

Does that preclude any kind of effective base station?

Thanks!

Stolen from my apartment building, Specialized Turbo Como 5.0, N Lombard & N Delaware.

Beyond upset, I was going to go for a nice ride today and it was gone. Taken from inside a controlled access building.

Just had it tuned up and everything.

Hauling hot asphalt oil?

Currently do local foodservice in the PNW. Saw an ad for a local hot asphalt oil hauler with comparable pay to what I make ($35-$39). No hazmat endorsement needed, obvs tanker endorsement required.

Is it generally pretty easy compared to food service? How noxious is the smell when you're driving? Will I get an excessive amount of bullshit from being a gal doing the job?

My current gig is Union but I'm getting real sick of broken equipment, slipseating (I found chicken bones in the truck last week), and the general bullshittery / office politics that's going on.

Thanks in advance.
