Ken,
For the squeek in the front suspention, have you tried a mousetrap. They're cheap and can be had at any hardware store.
Seriously, the squeek probably comes from the spring in the suspention system if my guess is correct. It's been a while since I've been inside one, but that would be my guess; disassemble and lube it real good with 'possium grease (or bike grease if you insist). I have two of those buggars; they're a real kick in the pants! I converted one to a 7 sp cassette hub (to get the 11 tooth cog) and fitted it with a single 62 tooth chainring. Added brazeons for the rear der. that is operated by a single Suntour bar end shifter. Drop bars and a Brooks saddle top her off. Wanna race?
