^ and you did all that with only a rear brake.
My Gazelle Champion Mondial has late-80s mountain bike running gear (XT hubs, cranks, mechs). Yeah, you heard me.
I also destroyed a 3-speed by riding it through a flooded road, filling the tubes up with water and flushing all the oil out of the hubs and BB. I got home, put it in the garage with the intention of stripping it and leaving it next to the radiator to dry... well, I forgot about it and a week later it was totally seized up.
