I wish I could talk him out the front wheel on that prologue. I'm having a hard time finding a 24" road wheel.

I guess it's up to the owner if he wants to hang onto or sell his pristine stuff. FWIW, I was into paintball for awhile and am hanging onto a pristine minicocker with very low serial number until I find the right buyer. Not in a hurry. Doesn't make me evil.

you know if he sold those schwinn madisons there would be a very good chance they would have a nice bright deep v wheelset within a month. not that i give a **** about that, but that might shed some light into why he is saving them.

keep your desires simple - like cheeseburgers or tassles for your risers.
