So most of the regular users on here know that I was working on a mid 80's peugeot to use as a campus and occaisional road ride bike. The rear wheel had a busted spoke and it wasn't worth replacing since the hub was a helicomatic. I posted an ad on craigslist and found a guy with a mavic rear wheel that he used to use in the 80's.

Well. It turns out that 'guy' used to ride for the B team of 7-11 and used this wheel as his training wheel!

He was really cool and helped me out getting a few things adjusted on the pug. And I scored the Mavic wheel which looked brand new for 40 bucks with a 13-21 7 speed. It's gonna be tough climbing them CT hills. Huzzah!

The only thing that you won't appreciate is the fact that he sold off his 80's italian steel bikes and now owns a cf specialized and a ti litespeed. Great bikes, but not really the C&V forums cuppa tea.

That is all!
