Happy new year all..
Its time to clear out those unwanted vintage parts that you've been meaning to re-auction...
With this in mind does anybody want to part with a good set of 50s sprint wheels.
The rims need to be tubs with good braking surfaces and round and true.
Hubs will be Airlite, Harden or similar and 32/40h.
What have you got?

I haven't got exactly what you're asking for, but there must be literally shed loads of wheels like that. I know a man who is in charge of some of these sheds - I'll ask him for you.

You would think so, but the count down is on to get my bike finished for the 'hard day in January ride' and i still haven't found a suitable set.
The originals were damaged after I went over a pot hole and squared off both the front and rear rim.
