Hello,
I´ve been offered to but this vintage Shimano Dura-Ace wheel set.
Black hubs, 36 spokes, 5 speed freewheel, AVA tubular rims.
Cassette and Campagnolo quick releases seems to be included.
In pictures it look s a little bit rusty, but I reckon it will be easily fixed.
What would you say this stuff is worth? I´ve been offered to buy it all for £35. Is it a good price?
At the moment my road bike is a Nishiki Olympic Royal, originally I think these had Shimano Dura-Ace EX FH-7260 Hubs with 6 speed freewheel. Last owner got rid of original wheel sets and put something more modern from Shimano on there with 7 speed Hyperglide freewheel.
I´ve been considering to go back to older hubs. Just because old parts feels a bit more fun...
Would the wheel set mentioned above work on my bike? Considering buying it to put it to some use on my Nishiki. OR maybe just buy them to make a profit to buy the original Shimano Dura-Ace EX FH-7260 Hubs instead.
Any thoughts on all this?
Thanks! Best regards
G
