My friend bought one for his girlfriends bike as a quick replacement.
I have to say, there a bit wide. More appropriate for a hybrid.
They look a bit crap on a racer bike.
But in terms of quality, basic cheap wheels are fine.
I run a 27" malliard fixed wheel thats probably worse quality, and its at least 20 years old. probably more like 30.
But front wheels are everywhere, and shop/car boot with old bikes will have front wheels a plenty. You could probably pickup a fancy retro campagnolo or something.
And ebays full of new fancy 20 spoke ones for practically nothing aswell.
