I know you guys are gonna jump on me for bringing GEARS into the forum but I've come by a nice old late 80s Peugeot Equipe with a 5-speed rear wheel that I wanna get up to scratch. The back wheel's pretty shot with bent rims and a notable up/down movement when spun. it's a crappy replacement stainless jobby anyway so doesn't seem worth doing work on it.
I'm quite new to DIY and it seems that 5-speeds are hard to come by and custom builds expensive/bad value for money. It's only a junky (though charming) old thing anyway. Anyone got any advice on getting a cheap but decent wheel?
cheers
