Need some wheelset suggestions. For my partners bike - she loves it (an 80's Peugeot step through) but it's in need of new wheels. I put a set of my light n wide road wheels in there and she took it for a spin. Maybe a mistake as now she wants fast wheels. Remember this is a step through that gets commuted on. I figure what she liked was the plush ride and lighter weight plus nicer tyres. They just felt zippier. I don't mind spending a bit so it's hand built VS OTP. Question though, a 130 spaced hub is a very tight fit so 126mm or even 120 is probably the right spacing for the frame. Also, currently running a 5 speed screw on freewheel. Happy to change to freehub.
Lazy thoughts are Hplus TB14 laced to something novatec - not sure which.
or Silver Mavic A319 - although not that light.
Other options? Budget is £50 - 200... Thanks in advance
