1995 Breezer Lightning

[KayOs]

Yesterday I rebuilt the rear wheel and I am more than happy that I bought the complete set of spokes.
Every single nipple was corroded, it felt like 32 seized seat posts...what an evening.



But I'm happy so far. The wheel still needs to be centred.

I love that it is exactly 1000g

Yeah, seems like I accidentally put in just the right amount of grease.

Still on the hunt for one myself... as you stated they do not come up very often.

am looking for one ideally in western Canada, bonus if one is located in Vancouver/Victoria. Worst case I may end up having to do a frame & fork from abroad

There is a complete Sky near Ottawa, price is pretty reasonable, condition looks great.

Thanks for the heads up.

Will send the seller a msg and see if shipping is an option. Can't hurt to ask as they say.

At the moment, mine is all XT 739 except for the derailieur and normal inner tubes. I am currently looking for another seatpost as the one that's on it right now is quite heavy. The bike weighs 10.1 kg and I guess it will stay that way as I want to be able to ride some bumpy trails.
