Unfortunately I let the original wheelset (Ukiah rims I think) get away before I knew better.
The beauty of this beast is I don't mind thrashing it in the Mi. winter, whereas if it were something nice it would just be sitting in the "museum" (ie. basement).
Gotta love those old dia-comp cantilevers, they'll keep the brush trimmed back on the singletrack!
