I meant 650c, like lo-pro front wheels and old TT bike size. The wheel diameter is very very similar to 26" so should be well within tolerance for nearly any standard rim brakes. It's an unfashionable size so you can get deep Zipp wheels for £20

But that's a super nice bike man, did you have to do anything to get the brakes working or was there enough adjustment by default? Are they the Brevet rims?

Edit: ah you answered my questions in your edit :)

What about tyres though.

Yeah, tyres are a ballache. Especially since a lot of those wheels are for tubulars. hip hop slave monstour though

↑This. There are about two easily available 650C clinchers, and you wouldn't want to use either of them on anything other than a road racing bike.
