I did the rebuild myself .
New 36 spoke wheels , new cassette (11-28) , new derailleur, new chain , and new platform pedals with pedal extenders that help with my knee pains .
I swapped out both front and rear cantilever brakes for new Shimano V-brakes . Easier pull and stop better . New shifters too, along with new brake levers . All new cables too .
Of course , new tubes to go with the 2.5x26 Maxxis Hookworm tires . I love these tires . They are heavy , but hug the payment and roll great . And they absorb shocks .
Saddle is a Brooks Imperial.
It’s an awesome smooth pedaling , riding bike .
