I had the bike looked at by a mechanic before purchase and he said it looked great besides the 4 front spokes gone but he didnt question it.
The bike has 900 miles and has pretty much sat in a garage since 2003 when it was bought.
Everyone who I talk to has said it is very odd that 4 spokes would be broke off. The owner said that when the weather got really cold then heated up it looked like 4 spokes popped off on one side so he pulled them off completely since they were only connected on one end. This sounds a bit odd to most ive talked to.
Whats your thoughts on this? I am going to get the front wheel off and send it to a place in California called Buchanons that specializes in this type of repair. With shipping and stuff it turns out being the same price as local repair shops.
