I’m gonna need another hand because I added a Slim Chance to the fleet.

Clearly you need to add a Sebastopol-era Mojo instead.

I like old stuff but I’m happy to leave the 26” wheel behind.

Wow, sweet bikes... but I'm more impressed that those wheels lasted 20k miles!

Brake track was shot long ago. Brake performance was terrible. Out of nowhere I decided to start building wheels so suddenly I had a long overdue but fun project - replace those wheels!

Incidentally, the old Mavic rims were a period-correct but very narrow 13mm internal width. New Light Bicycle rims are much larger at 25-ish mm internal and 35mm depth, but weigh about 40 grams less. Progress!
