SO I have my old reliable 91 ish wicked with 6 speed 130 mm rear thumb sis index shimano shifters.
I am trying to put some new fancy light weight wheels on it and would love to update it. My rear tire /wheel with cassette or gears weighs 5 lbs. My front was swapped for a lighter road type of hub and 28 spoke - but is is shiny alum not black. I would like to get a nice pair and have it fit and be the same color front and back.
I also love the newer type of shifter- rapid fire? with the thumb and index finger levers below the grip.
If anyone has gone down this road can you give me some pointers and some direction or just hit me up side of the head and tell me to forget it.
