Probably my commuter-to-be at some point.

The front wheel is the one that was on my 7100 when I got hit by a truck, with new spokes. It'll come up true, then settle to a moderate wobble within a mile of riding. Only given it two ride-and-retrue runs so far, but will keep doing that as spare time allows this week. If it'll settle into a stable true, then I'll start looking for racks and fenders for it.

Since it's in shop colors, and an example of what we can do with a formerly unrideable department store bike, the boss likes the idea of it being both a commuter and a shop showpiece. Get people away from thinking that flashy and functional are mutually exclusive.
