I have a Superbe that is stock. I am building up a second set of alloy rim wheels for riding comfort and safety. I am using the polished CR18's in the stock size. The original Westrick rims are okay but have a few humps and bumps that cannot really be removed, they are only an issue when braking hard at high speeds. I have an alloy seat post that I may use and I have an extended steel stem, but that is about the only changes I am going to make. I really like the way the bike rides and looks stock and am figuring that the alloy rims can only improve that.

Do what you want with it, but if you strip parts hang on to them if you ever want to put it back to original.
