I have an old WTB Dual Duty front Rim (20mm)... it could use a true, but it's got all of it's spokes and you can have it for $20.

Let me know if you want it. I'd love to see you get that thing up and running.

Actually, screw it. Just come and get it off my balcony. The wife is none-to-happy that my bike tools, parts, and whole bicycles are spread across our entire balcony.

Come get it.

 

[wakeeater]

haha where do you live man im down. You are one the first people that has ever offered me free parts obver the web

 

[Prettym1k3]

The front wheel is in good shape, despite the fact I totally blew up the rear wheel... it's on it's third busted spoke in 3 rides, and the hub needs a rebuild. Hence why I picked up some new wheels and have no use for these wheels anymore.

I'm down in San Jose. A little bit of a drive, but the wheel is in good shape. And it's free. I just like to see people get their stuff built up. One of these days I'll do a bike build, and will need a few parts... and the bicycling community will come together and help me. I'm sure of it.

[Prettym1k3]

Very nice, dude. I actually had a derailleur and shifter I wasn't going to use, but as it turns out I'm going to throw them on my dirt jumper sometime soon here.

If I come across anything in the next week or two, I'll hit you up and let you know.
