I just did this for fun. It's too hot to ride and I was bored.

Umm... I modified it.

Okay, I did goof. The guide wheels are actually in line but it looks like they are wide apart with the man sitting with one either side of him. I should have photographed the derailleur from the outboard side.

No, sir, I should have noticed it. I did it again from the other side and I think it looks better, now.

I should have thought of that. I'll do it over with Rock N Roll lube and give it another try.
