yeah Andy when i saw your post in the other thread about the weight of your alpina it made me a lil mad LOL.. the tires that are on there aren't anything special and might be a quick way to drop some weight. Is your Alpina steel or aluminum
I'll let you know about the wheelset, though I'm also interested in keeping the suntour stuff together. But imo bikes just don't shift well without hyperglide cassettes. I'll try it out with some friction shifters first though
georges thanks for the suggestions.. I noticed the spokes aren't butted so a wheel rebuild may be in order. that's one thing i haven't done before, but i've got a truing stand and some patience
