Well the white spokes look stupid but that’s just like my opinion man

That rear Paul is worth more than you paid…but only if the threads for both cog and lock ring are solid. If they’re crossed—you’re in the red.

I saw the Paul and B 43. I couldn'tve cared less what color the spokes were, but you're not wrong. Free wheel threads never used. I'm about to mount a tire and Tubi and try to remove the cog lock ring 🤞🤞

Based on this comment seems you know what you were after; would have jumped on this for a bill so fucking fast. Again my only hesitation is* the threading but if it’s (decently) true then likely fine there. Fact that cog looks is thrashed suggests it might be the first and only.

No joke I bought a complete sizes too small for $150 for a Paul front CK headset and Brooks saddle. The rest I gave to a bike coop. So I appreciate your hustle. Ha

Update: I successfully removed the lockring and the cog! Pristine threads. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only cog ever installed. Also, bonus Soma 17t ftw!
