I picked up this Multitrack 700 “Sport” for $100 with new tires and pedals. I got it for a bike to store at my grandparents to ride when I visit their house. One thing I did not realize is that the front derailleur is “friction” style, whereas the back is SIS “shimano indexed shifting”. Is there a way to just replace the shifter on the handlebar to swap the front over to indexed, or do I have to buy a kit or something? Other than that, the bike rides beautifully, but while you are riding the “friction” side clicks backward until it starts rubbing on the chain, so every 5 minutes or so you have to push it again so it won’t rub. Thank you for your help.
