Cheers, interesting point. I did think about wider rims but was put off when I found that the chainstay clearance dates from an era where narrow and tight was the order of the day...
I'm not sold on used wheels, although I guess TT sets are likely to have seen the lightest use. I'm nearly 90kg, maybe down to 84 on my best day, so have always felt like I'd rather not find a fault in a wheelset the hard way.
Will see what else I can find and give it some more thought.
