Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bontrager Race Lite rear for under 100?

Have a chance to pick this up and put an end to the Wobler GTX that is bent.
Upgrade? or keep my eyes loaded on bacon and banana slices for something else?

There is a Race Lite up front. I've complained about its "slowness" yet someone else has said that the rim quality, weight, and hubs cannot be as described. and suspected a heavy tire tube and tire?
Lol I bet the seller is on this online group

It's hard not to like bacon.

Right. I just hope I don't end up with to much cholesterol by the time I'm done. I'll have a heart attack going up hill at the rate in going...

I've got one that I'll sell for $25.

Of course some spokes are pulling thru the rim- common in these wheels I believe.

Also, replacement rims w/ paired drilling not available.

Sorry to get your hopes up-

The rim is trashed & AFAIK unrepairable so I wouldn't actually sell it.

I think you could find a better deal, but if you get those, carefully inspect the rim at the nipples for cracks.
