Hello,

I'm helping a friend build her first fixed wheel bike and we're looking for a cheap 700c rear wheel to pop on a frame we found.

I guess we're looking to pay about £50 or so, if anyone has any laying around, please let me know. Will consider ones a bit out of true, left overs from people upgrading their off the peg's anything really.

cheers

Got a really lovely rear wheel (Dia Compe fixed/fixed hub, black, to black Open Pro). 32 or 36h, can't remember right now. But after £75 for it, which is still perty darn reasonable given it's yummy and only ridden for one Summer, with one side of threads as untouched as the virgin on the rock. Interested?

Maybe, I'll ask Elle. Was really looking for something less pretty for less money.

My flatmate's got a pretty new Ambrosio going spare... Double fixed... I'll ask him if he's shiftin' it...

Shame as it's also pretty darn bomb-proof…

Donate her a tenner and you could have mine. Far better than that Ambroiso malarky.

Going to do a mass clearout next week, so don't tell anyone that I'm offering the fiver off ;)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
