Howdy.

I just bought this (1985? 1986?) Champion. It's exactly like one I had, but didn't appreciate, when I was 15.



Can Weinmann replacement hoods be had for less than $25 per pair?

I may try to upgrade some bits. Is there any market for those drivetrain components and wheels?

I haven't met the bike yet--I should get it a couple days after Christams--but according to the '85-'86 catalog, here's what the Champion came with:

Solida 5271 crankset (52-42)

Huret Club front derailleur

Huret Eco rear derailleur

Huret Rival shifters

Maillard 14-28 6-speed freehweel

The wheels in the photos I have are Weinmann 215 rims and hubs I can't identify, although the catalog says the bike came with Mavic Mod 3 rims and Atom Sport hubs.

Thanks for any time and insight.
