Sorry, i'm not and i'm not, not sure what happened with the PM, it was a valid question and if i'm doing something wrong please tell me?

You two were once new here too. Don't be so rude and possibly even intimidating. Perhaps he was asking the teeth on the freewheel?

So some guy is trying to actually build his bike from scratch, which is what everyone on this forum would suggest rather than buy off the peg, and your chastising him for his efforts?
Sure he could be a little more proactive by reading up first and then asking more sensible questions, but you don't have to verbally lambast him. For all you know he could be 14 and have a 250 pound budget,
or,
heaven forbid, even have a mental deficiency (not to mention that you just insulted anyone who reads the thread that does have a mental deficiency).You mentioned a freewheel in your ad and munchh asked about it. Regulars 'dibs' here without reading through the ad first, and then find that the frame/wheel/cranks/headset/seatpost isn't suitable because it is the wrong size. I don't see you, or anyone, attacking those guys for being so obtuse; cut the guy some slack
Way to grow the community.** I see two people in this thread that are socially challenged and munchh isn't one of them.**
BTW, munchh. Make a bit more effort in your responses and don't be so needy with the questions. There are a lot of people that come on here looking for advice on things (I was one of them) and realistically you can find the advice if you search for it.

I was just asking about what the freewheel was, i ask alot of questions as this is all a bit new to me, but i doo look before i ask and couldnt find any info online as its an old model.
Thanks though, and to think last night people wanted to know i got home ok? ;)

Okay, sorry, looks like I was too quick of the mark there, I assumed 1000archangels knew something I didn't.
It's just a pm repeating the exact same line three times, i.e. "Hi what is the freewheel and do you do paypal?", with the paypal reference sounded like a potential scam/cause for grief. Sincere apologies for the rush to judgement, especially as it looks like it was quite unfounded.
Munchh are you in London? If so happy to meet up so you can see the wheels and if you like them sort out payment, if it's kosher happy to take payment by paypal instead of cash if that for some reason suits you better.
Haven't got the freewheel immediately to hand, will dig it out before the end of the day and let you know it's size. Again, apologies for the misunderstanding.

Been a bit slow to respond to this and the other critical posts as I was pm'ing munchh, but yes I did get this wrong, apologies all round.

Dear Munchh, me and other members do a bit of 'light trolling' now and again. it's the gental art of 'russeling' the forums 'jimmies' to effect a response. 'Heavy trolling' though is frowned upon espescialy in the footbal thread where actual riots break out if trolls appear ;-)

No offence taken, im too old.

And we're all friends again :D
These came on my GT Gutterball, removed them and put them away as soon as the bike arrived as I already had a set of wheels built around Level hubs which I rather preferred, have now rebuilt the GT with a Sturmey Archer S2 hub, but I digress.
So these are basically unused, wouldn't describe them as "as new" as they've picked up the odd mark on the rims while in storage, I've pictured the worst, a small scratch in the braking surface of the front wheel.
Pretty sure these have the same rims as the Halo Aerotracks, except that they're 36 hole instead of 32 hole, which if anything makes them that bit stronger so better suited to regular road use. Like I say they look the same rim to me and definitely have the same rim depth of 27mm. Hubs are standard no-name Taiwanese (with GT branding) with sealed bearings and fixed/free rear hub. Am including the lock ring and will see if I can dig out the original freewheel if the buyer wants it. Looking for £100.
Am becoming more active on the forum again after a long absence (was off the bike with a back injury for over a year), but please pm me if interested rather than just dibs in thread, priority given to people who pm me rather than dibs 1st.
