I have yet to have found a vintage bike yet where the bearings were OK. Even if they feel OK, they haven't been in my experience.

And it is amazing how good an old set of wheels, and a 30 year old crank can roll with fresh bearings and grease.

Well done.

And its not just Cyclone, its Cyclone generation 1 plus the GT model. That's the version that brings the most.
