That’s a good point. Are the wheels currently 27” or 700c?
An easy solution if 27” would be the above wheel and cassette and derailleur then a £5 thumb friction shifter off eBay.
If you want to go for modern, aim to stick with all one brand e.g shimano shifter with shimano derailleur and cassette.
They’re 700c but open to changing to 27” and just selling these specialised ones. I’m trying to keep costs down hence initially just looking for a rear wheel. I also quite fancy wider tyres, maybe with that white rim.
Thanks for the tips, looking things up now!
Stick with 700. Easier to find and replace tyres and parts etc.
