1. I am wondering what the plastic cable guide from under the BB looks like? I need to get a replacement...along with the screw. Can anyone provide a picture of what the original looks like?
2. Wheels? What are my options? I know it came with Araya RM-25s i think. I am not holding out much hope of finding a nice set of those. Can anyone recommend a decent wheelset? I likely cant go 700c or my brake bosses wont line up with the rim (and probably other issues, although i have seen it done).
3. BB Spindle length? It doesnt have the BB. I probably have a shimano cartridge style sealed bb that would fit but im lost when it comes to what the original spindle length would be. The bb shell measures 68mm.


Ill leave it at those 3 questions for now. That should get me started on my hunt/build.

Thanks!
