    Hey all, hopefully you can help. Basically bike was broke up in the train station. The rear wheel is fecked. I am hoping to get a wheel cheap to help the owner out so they don't have to pay for it. The wheels are 700c with 6 gears. Where would I get a cheap but decent replacement online? (Looking on the phone is tedious :( )

    Also does the rear look bent to you guys?

    Hard to tell from the photo, but it might be just a tad out of true.

    It looks fecked to me. U sure it's a 700c? Looks like a 26" to me.

    Can't help with the replacement, but that wheel should be OK for a few more short hops still. :D

    is that frame bent? Rear triangle looks way out to me, but it could just be the angle of the photo.
