Right, lacking the dorrah, so I need to sell these wheels.
They are a pair of Mavic GL330 hard anodized tubular rims laced to Specialized Hubs. The front wheel has the name Ralph Colman stickered on, which I presume is Ralph Colman of Bristol.
The rims have some surface wear, more around the spokes than the rest of the rim. They are true, I think it is just the way the rims were built.
The front is true, might need 0.2 mm adjustment in places, but I don't have a stand, so I'll end up doing more damage than good I expect. I've trued it slightly, and it is now pretty much true. The rear seems true from the 'hand eye test' method, but i have no frame to put it in to check.
The hubs are absolutely silky smooth. They are spaced for 126mm dropouts, but could easily be respaced to 120, should you wish to run the Singlespeed. And if you want to be really dodgy, you might even be able to respace them to 120mm with the cassette on, but that would probably lead to seat stay/chainstay issues.
I can't remeber what spokes they are, but it's the logo thats like a cross between the hash key and an 8, but the centre is small, so it could also be seen as a 4 petaled flour. Anyway, they are the type of spoke which gets narrower after about an inch from the niple, and then get thicker an inch away from the hub. Either for weight saving or areo, but they are not bladed.
The freewheel is a Suntour 6 speed hub, 21-13 tooth (I can count every indervidual (spelling?) cog all the way through if you really want). Used but in decent condition.
The tyres are Vittoria Competition Formula Uno 7-9 Bar (approx. 100-130 PSI) Tubs, with light use.
The Front wheel weighs approx. 1100g, and the Rear approx. 1550g unless my scales are wrong.
They come, ofcourse, with scewers, the front being a Specialized, and the rear a Somos, unless you do not want them, in whichcase I will happily keep the front.
I can post at a cost or meet in Brighton/Hastings area.
If you want to post, I have a Planet X wheel box from a friend I can use, and plenty of bubble wrap.
oh it's because the classifieds link take you to help and testing...

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
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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

Photo's aren't working, so they are on flickr. Excuse the shoddy telepone pictures.
