guess what i found in my backyard??
i couldnt believe it,,,,,,, today i was cleaning the backyard and i saw a rusted rim..... before i threw it away , i thought hmmmm this looks very familiar,,,, so i knocked some of the rust off of it .. and saw that it was my old GT superlaced with sealed hub... and the thing still rolled smoothly,,,, i will spend some time cleaning it up.. and trying to get the rust off of it,,, but for now i have a front rim..lol..lol .. i will soon be buying a cheap rear rim and then saving up for those redline supa x.......

The obvious question is: "How did it find it's way into your backyard in the first place?"

not sure it is from my old 87 GT pro freestyle tour... i went off to the military and i think my dad went crazy and threw away the bike and i think my lil brother kept the rim,, for what reason i dont know,,, but there it was.. just sitting there.... all rusted,,, a lil tender ;loving care might bring it back to life... but im just amazed that the hubs still roll smoothly,,, im sold on sealed hubs..lol..lol i think they might have been out outside for several years now... i would say atleast 6 years...
