29er front wheel

20 July 2012 - 08:17 PM

Mine taco-ed so I'm looking for a new front wheel for my 29er. Pretty much open to anything so long as it's disc brake-compatible. Ideally it'd be tubeless-ready, but not essential.

PM me if you've got something you're willing to part with.

Late 70s Schwinn Convertible: $50

Sure, you've got a road bike, a cross bike, a fixie, a hardtail, a 29er, a fatbike... but do you have a banana seat bike? Well you should. I'm cleaning out room in the garage and this needs a new home. The guy I got it from a few years ago said it's a 1978 Schwinn Convertible -- novel given that you can remove the top bar and ride it as a boys or girls bike.

Novelty aside, the bike actually rides really well and is functional (if not terribly practical). I rode it in the Moonlight Ramble a few years ago (looks great decorated with glo-sticks) and on a few day-long pub crawls. I think it could handle the Castlewood Dirt Crit course pretty well too. (I'll be there this Thursday, so I'm happy to bring it along if you want to take a test drive.)

Seriously, where else will you get a piece of awesomeness for $50? Oh, you say you have better things to spend $50 on? Yeah, sure, like upgrading to titanium skewers is going to get you this much street cred.

DM me or email jeff (at) jefflash (dot) com if you're interested (and you know you are).
