What are "Cut down MA40 Mavic wheels."? Not a term I've come across AFAIR.
But it is ver' pretty.

Keith Bontrager took 700c MA40s back in the day and cut 'n' shut 'em (with a bit of rolling in between). All but impossible to find in that condition now...

But Mavic were also making 26" ma40s by 89/90, so it's not certain those are rolldowns. I've read that the Mavic logo is incomplete on authentic rolldowns because that's where the seam was.

Nice, but that gear selection is doing my nut in

Not sure that short cage has the capacity.

1 more gear could be very costly

Watch out for internal rusting, the seller states the frame has been braised.

When I'm braising,I use quite a bit of oil and herbs, but of course the balsamic vinegar might be corrosive?

Thank you for that enlightenment!
