Bikes: At one point it was a Trek 700 something. Now it have Velocity Psycho wheels, a tape job. Thumb shifters (Shimano Deore). Corncob grouping, and drop bar ends all wrapped up in tape.
I'd say that these https://sheldonbrown.com/harris/wheels/559.html The "Brutal Beast" look really good.
My favorite is what I currently have- Velocity Aeroheat on XT, 32-36.

My 26" wheelset is for winter riding. Phil Wood hubs, sun rhyno rims...as wide as I felt i could go, Nokian extreme studdded tires. Urban assault vehicle, I could swap tires and have what has been reffered to as "expedition wheelset", everything is an expedition here in Alaska ;-)
