price?

Interested depending on price and location. Pm'd

pick up in manchester or P&P in UK for 15

30 gbp each set - of wheels (for cog, chain and lock ring add 12 gbp)

1st set weinman 700c alloy rims - with 70x25 tyres on (these are the slightly larger rims)
2nd set rigida alloy rims (like today's chrina i'd say) 700x23 tyres on

both set up from random garage stuff - but are paired, will come with 16t cog and BB lockring plus 1/8 gold chain (i'll add in a 1/2 link on each chain for you too)

both pairs are converted road wheels from 80s bikes and have QR front and rear plus freehub & BB lockring build - neither acceptable for track or posing but both good for a runaround / beater conversion. i'll rotrax cog on if you wish (the right way - clean metal on metal and tight)- other sizes of cog available - at a bit more cost for above 16t. chainline on both c. 42/43mm - good for marry up with road crank parred down to SS. on inner ring c. 126 oln rear spacing - will go in any steel frame from 120mm to 130mm no probs at all.

full set up kit - just drop in old road frame and away you go - only specialist tool needed is chain breaker

these are beater stuff

tru-ed in as much as poss after re spacing - all in to around 1.5mm i'd say - so not deadly perfect , but well within parameters you'll hardly notice. all bearings good and had regrease couple of spokes showing surface rust on first pair - but it's the kind of thing that'll rub off with wire wool. tyres all part used but good for a few miles yet - 1st pair has the better tyres

provisional dibs on the blue and red set. pm on way to dis-cuss

re P&P

13 to 15 is literally what the post office will charge me - that's aside from trip LBS to get boxes and the packing grief and materials and another trip to PO. it's cheaper with courier (you can choose your own if you like )

but with a courier, i found - it's: create an account, bank details, log in, buy at least so-many postings in one go in advance, wait for the courier.... etc. etc. i used to have a courier but i had 150gbp tied up in 'stamps' and he'd only do half UK - not including london! the PO is on-demand and for me that' the way it's go to tbe

it's a commitment - and , as ever, i'm trying drop all the commitments in life i can - that's why i'm selling so much stuff off recently

oh yeah - if you can make it to sk6 in - manchester with your old road bike we can do the conversion there and then in 15 minutes or so
