Bikes: See my sig...

Yesterday... still had a stock steel wheel in the back and a low end wheel up front.



But my girl deserves better so I built up a new rear and installed a new front wheel after I serviced and tuned it up... and even cleaned up the bike a little.



36 spoke double walled rear... bombproof.



48 spoke single walled front... should be bombproof.



Will need to touch up that scrape on the fork caused by the light mount... the new wheels really improved what was already pretty decent braking as they are both alloy and have a wider contact area for the brakes.
