Default Stiff front shifter.

The new build is ready enough to use it if I had to.

The rear shifter works OK, but the best I could do with the front is oil the
pivot pins and hope for the best.

So far; I've cranked it on the biggest chain ring and turned the twistgrip
to leave the cable slack.

Question is - what're the chances of it freeing up with use?

Thanks.

The question is slightly changed - on this occasion I missed something
obvious. The low gear stop screw needed adjustment - but it should've
shifted between top and middle.

Took the chain off so I could waggle the shifter and make sure it was free
(it was) and suddenly it was as simple as it looks.
