I have a spare set of wheels on it, I'm relacing the original ones with Sapim Race spokes.

Wow. I am in love with this. The blue (and darker blue of the graphics), the font Univega used then, the graphics, and the absolutely gorgeous polished components. The black bar tape, hoods, and tires really make it come together. Beautiful!
