Six or seven years ago I bought a Nishiki MTB to flip. After a pretty thorough overhaul I still had a rear wheel that I was not satisfied with. Shelved the project temporarily. Shortly after I found a donor bike with the rim I needed. Using Sheldon's format I made the swap, including stress relieving the spokes and re truing. As a first timer I was pretty happy with the results. The following winter I took the Nishiki to a swap in Chicago. Had some interest in the bike and one woman in particular grilled me pretty hard on it. So I told here everything I had done to the bike. She then asked if the guy that had been riding it around the bike corral all morning was with me, as he was talking the bike up quite a bit. He was not but he did help sell it.
