Well I live in South London, and am unemployed. So south London? Lol j/k, I'm prepared to cycle to central with them if you're gonna be coming/leaving by train.
Just to confirm, the wheels aren't laced like that currently. The 40h is laced to three gear Rear SA hub. and 32h is laced to Front dynamo hub.
The rear(40h) wheel is out of true by 4mm but i'm convinced that's cus of the spokes being rusty as they are. Should also say, this rim has a rusty braking surface. Like I said, when I attacked the rust on the chrome bits it came away with some wire wool (actually, as I don't think I need what I have left after doing the bars you can have that if it'll help) but on the braking surface it's a bit more of a pain. At the moment using the brakes makes a horrible noise!
The chrome is old, so pretty strong. If you wanted to make a 10min job of it you could use a wirewool drill attachment, which was probably what i'd have done if I wasn't donated these drum brake hubs.
I don't mind hanging on to them cus in order to keep my options open, I am not selling until I've got my mits on some 27" 36h's. Currently awaiting reply from Rik about that.
I'd rather sell them together with the hubs for £35. If you don't have a use for the hubs however, I'm sure we can work something out! It all depends on whether what rik has for me is suitable for the gf. We are at the mercy of other people D:
