Wanted: Rear Wheel

I'm looking to replace the rear wheel on my old winter bike - rim is worn and bearings are shot. Needs to be compatible with a 9sp cassette. Nothing fancy, just something to ride in the rain.

Bob Cameron - get well card at Straight Up

For anybody who would like to sign a get well card for Bob Cameron, there is one at Straight up initiated by the IRC crew. Bob was in a skiing accident in Greenland and has undergone surgery here in Victoria late last week to fix a fractured tibia as well as associated complications.
