So I've always said I'd never get into road riding....mainly due to the fact that I wouldn't subject the viewing public to me wearing spandex. But I think I've been bitten slightly by the road bug. My gfriend is training for a sprint triathlon so I've been riding my single speed road bike with her.
I went to the recycle center this past weekend and randomly scored a free road bike in the 'metal' recycling area!! It's some early 90's (I think) Trek 330 road bike and from looking online it requires a 126mm rear wheel. Pretty sure the previous owner crammed a wider space wheel in there cause it doesn't fit w/out spreading the dropouts.
Just curious how difficult/rare it is to find a 126mm rear wheel with a 6/7 speed cassette? Been searching online and have had no luck so far. Thinking I might go back to the recycle center this weekend and see what else I can find, there were a ton of used bikes deep in the pile of junk.
