MBA August 1992 Wheeler USA advert

[rutteger]

Here's a scan of the Wheeler USA ad from the August '92 edition of MBA

The advert indicates the Wheeler softails being ridden are 'handbuilt in Steamboat Colorado'. IIRC isn't this where Moots are based? Seems unlikely to be a coincidence...

That's the only wheeler info I have. They were never brought into the UK. Maybe some of the continental members on the board can help you out..

We had/have them in Sweden. They are considered to have the same status here as Huffy has in the USA.

Thing is, Wheeler had a pretty wide range of bikes from low-end to almost stratospheric. They had well-speced bikes in their line-up.
