Recently finished fully rebuilding these 2 90’s Japanese steel classics (check more ads by this user.) Spent months sourcing the parts I wanted including some rare bars (8xtenos,) period saddles (NOS Selle San Marco Concor Light/Ti Flite) cool stems and clean drive trains. Where needed, brakes, derailleurs, cranksets, etc were disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, and re assembled with fresh grease/lube/loctite. Brand new chains, brand new cables...
They both got about a 20mile shakedown ride and they're tuned and ready for many miles.

Wheeler, out of Germany, maybe better known throughout the 90s for their mountain bikes or maybe for Mike Kluge (CX world champ/ Grundig Cup Champ!) who rode for them for a time. I think this model was called 8200 in other markets, it’s a super cool frame made from Tange Prestige, which was a top of the line tubeset at the time, in a dark metallic green with rad decals, chromes fork/stays, pantograph, custom “wheeler” stamped rear dropouts and BB shell, internal rear brake cable routing, etc. In the catalogs of the time, this top model was specc'd with full Dura Ace. I’ve got it built with a slightly newer (than the frame) DA 9 speed group with a few Ultegra bits. It rides great and without even trying it sits sub 20lbs. It’s got a NOS SSM saddle that Lance favored and one of my favorite bend drop bars wrapped in Deda tape. Also an older/period Blackburn bottle cage and full Nissen x SimWorks cables.
Frame Size 54
Seat Tube C-C 530mm

Top Tube C-C 540mm
For the asking price I'll also include a brand new, in box set of Challenge Strada Pro 700x25 300 TPI blackwall tires
