Going to need help.. mag wheels (if that's what they are) and them Giro things are another world to me :oops:

The grips are AME, the Giro and brakes (calipers and levers) are Odyssey.
Grips could do with replacing, Giro needs a good ol' clean-up..

Cables are totally knack'd.. replacing those will make it make it usable but they have funny things in them and divide into 2.. what kind of alien tech is this??
