Unfortunately I'm not Bill I'm just dumb-old Joe and you already know I'm entirely besotted with this bicycle and my approval is assumed, so we shall move on to works in progress. One thing you COULD do if there's a decent wheel builder in the pro bro mountain bike shop is buy those rose rims when they're available, ride your current ones for a year-or-so, then put the new ones on. Is that crazy? Not any crazier than most of the changes and upgrades we do around here, that's what *I* say!
