I'll have to get pictures of it. I'm picking it up from a friend in chicago. her dad gave it to me, but I have no way of getting it here as of yet.
I really like the phil wood hubs. do those also come in a 36h?
if my wider rim idea doesnt pan out...
should I look for a cheaper complete wheelset to start out with, or blow the cash on phil's and a good set of rims?
what is a good rim to look into? I want something with a good sidewall for braking.
