SOLD, finally. Never seen so many timewasters in one sales thread.
1 brand new rear wheel: Formula High Flange flip-flop track hub (32H) and AlexRims R500 semi-aero rim (yellow). 48T sprockets on both sides.
1 used front wheel: Formula High Flange front track hub (28H), also with AlexRims R500 semi-aero rim (also yellow).
The story here is that about 3 months after I'd bought a new bike, the rear wheel was damaged. I took it back to Edwardes, where I'd bought the bike, to find a replacement. They didn't have any in stock, so they kept it while they ordered a replacement. Meanwhile, I grew impatient to keep riding my new bike and decided to upgrade, so I went and bought some Halo Aerorage wheels (the really flouro yellow ones ;) ). So when I collected the new rear wheel (onto which they had transferred the old tyre), I had no use for it.
Anyway, I'm basically selling a new rear wheel with a used front wheel as an optional extra. £40 including postage for both, £30 for the new rear. If you want the old tyres (Kenda something-or-others), say, otherwise I'll bin them when packing.
This is a decent deal; the Formula hubs are good, no-nonsense basic hubs. The rims are nothing special, but you're getting them free at this price.
