This weekend, I'm cleaning up the wheels!
Before:
After:
These are LX M550 laced to Ritchey Vantage Comp rims, and they came with steel Ringle Cam Twists in black. This is one of the reasons I was so excited to buy this bike. I knew the wheels were sweet, bomb proof, 36 spoke, yet still pretty light weight. I'm surprised at how well they clean up! I was also able to snag the last pair of decals that @oldefortran had for sale. Thanks Peer!
The rear wheel was already missing it's decal, so I had that one cleaned up most of the way already. I rebuilt the hub and freehub during the week, and today I finished off with a 0000 steel wool polish on the spokes, and some Scotch Brite 7447 on the braking surfaces. I'm also fitting a pair of tan wall Smoke Classics, per the original catalog specs.
