Hi all,

i'm after a 700c or 27" fixed gear rear wheel (clincher, not tub) on a solid axle. can't really spend (much) more than £30 because i'm painfully skint. It just needs to be true and safe. Ideally set up for a 130mm dropout spacing because it's a converted touring frame and i'm a bit shite at dealing with spacers!

Any colour rim that doesn't clash with my bronze frame is welcome... i.e. silver, black or white.

Alternatively, i'm willing to swap it for a nearly new silver 36 spoke SS freewheel which is dead true and runs v nicely. (can't remember how many teeth, probably in the 16-18T region)

i know it's a big ask, but please get back to me if you think you've got something along the right lines. cheers :)

Thanks HHHH - can you give me some more specifics, especially the rim width? and if you have photos that would be brilliant.

Also, the frame is designed for 27" with generous clearance so i'm a bit concerned that a 26" might look a bit 'lost'. any thoughts?

definitely interested though... cheers :)

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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
