The Peter Mooney that was brought in last week had been out of service for several years and needed some updating. The original wheels and tires were well worn out and needed replacement. We matched the silver Campagnolo Record 9 speed components that were still in great condition with White Industries T11 hubs in polished silver with Silver DT Spokes and color matched the aluminum nipples to the vibrant blue frame. He wanted a to use 25c tires for a fast comfortable ride and the Peter Mooney frame had clearance to spare even when mounted on the HED Belgium rims. The tires measured 28.2 mm. when mounted. The wheel set is laced 2 cross rear (28h) and radially in the front (24h) for a lightweight, durable wheel set that will accelerate with some snap. total weight - 1,560 g
We rebuilt the rest of the bike with some fresh cables, bar tape and brake pads and overhauled the rest for a bike that looks as good as it rides. Now returned to it's former glory, the Peter Mooney is ready for many years of service. I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking for me.
