Just the bike I needed. Light weight and smooth power.

Yeah, the yellow boots were on it when I bought it. I have new black boots to put on it when I rebuild the forks.

Well, I was checking the rear rim and spokes and noticed several loose spokes. I could not get any to turn tight. I've been wanting a reason to go black rims so I found Tusk rim and moose ss spokes. Anyone have experience with these components?

Well, I could not find moose spokes. So I went with Excel black rear rim with excel spokes. Reading the info on the spokes made it sound like the excel spokes would not work on an OEM rim or oem replacement. That is why I did not go with the tusk rim. But at least I will have a safe bike!
