    From the 'never gonna do anything with this'/'too much hassle to maintain' dept: A bunch of (mostly) Weinmann rims with suitable hubs and freewheels. I used these for a few weeks, swapped out for 700c and never looked back. My lockdown build of an old klunker was fun, but seriously, ENOUGH of this crap.

    Pics are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x7pld0uxqftfx5l/AADuit99odEpE7S14wjumSiBa?dl=0

    Details (all rims are 36-hole):

    27" alu Weinmann rim laced to Normandy front hub. A wobble that I can't be bothered dealing with. Gatorskin is okay. Tube inflates. I would say the best things here are the tube, tyre and hub. These Weinmann rims are made of cheeeese. Will include a Maillard front QR skewer.

    27" Raleigh TruBuild with a 5-speed freewheel. Gatorskin has no damage. Tube inflates. Ho-hum.

    700c Weinmann concave rim laced with Sapim spokes to Maillard front- will polish up nicely - needs to be tensioned and trued. These Weinmann rims are famously strong. Cockroaches and Weinmann concaves in the post-nuclear landscape.

    The matching 700c Weinmann concave rim - needs a hub and spokessss.

    700c Weinmann concave rim on a Helicomatic rear - includes the rare-as-hens-teeth Helicomatic lockring!!!111. Come on, this is like free money!

    Mavic 319 rim - has been used with a Nexus 3sp - so no rim wear.

    Normandy rear hub with Maillard QR skewer.

    Shimano HG 7-speed cassette
    Shimano 7-speed cassette - looks like a cheaper version of the one above

  • Hi mate interested in the Mavic rim! Will send DM

  • Responded to DMs

    The Helicomatic hub has been released from its rim. What a journey it’s been.

  • Hi mate, do you still have the 5-speed? :)

  • All collected except the Mavic rim - still here if you’re interested @user122276 : )

    [Will edit the thread title and update the freebies later]

  • Those concave rims are great. Confused: are they gone?
