>>1809099>There has to be a better real thing you could improveI am working on some other things -the wheels are off to replace tires. I'm the retard with the white and purple Centurion LeMans.
>>1808052Besides the current issue I think I've changed the bike well to suit me so far with the brifters and the flat pedals.
>allum frame? the stays on nice cromo frames are flexy enough that using 130 without cold setting is totally allg.Ah. I didn't realize you didn't have to cold set with higher quality steel and you could just spring it out a couple millimeters. In fact I was under the impression it was more difficult or impossible to cold set so 130mm would be out of the question. But that not being the case I do have some options then. Building a wheel seems more expensive than I first thought given the cost of spokes so I'm now looking at wheel set options again.
140 asking for pic related in my local market. Not sure about the yellow accent spoke but seem pretty quality for their time, condition looks okay. Listing claims like new but not sure about that, definitely a bit dirty and that spoke decal is peeling. There's also some Araya CTL-385 (same brand as the original for this bike) with Shimano 600 Hubs for 120 available. I figure I can get a negotiate down a good deal on the latter, not sure about former.
