Hi

So I've decided to break the bike so the wheels will be up for grabs as I say they are Shimano M550 hubs (deore lx around 1992ish) on the Sun Chinook rims in silver. The rear currently has a good 7 speed rear cassette fitted. Bearings run smooth as does the freehub, and the wheels are true. Rim brake only (just in case you were wondering! Ha!). In breaking the bike I've got a bunch of other goodies too including 7 speed xt thumbshifters, M550 front and rear mechs and more...make me an offer I can't refuse!
