thanks @duncs. Didn’t realise these things were so expensive. Just looked up what they are new! Good price for yours but out of my price range.

Trying to get an old Bianchi bike back on the road with very limited funds. The rims in this bike are completely worn and have a very dangerous crack on the edge. Looking for something just to get it back on the road. Nothing fancy price more important at this stage. Any one who has a rear wheel or wheelset that fits this requirement please let me know.

More likely I’ve missed something. Don’t know enough about wheels to be confident I have the right bits. Could certainly reuse the hub, but then I need to know what wheel to use (without the hub attached) and thats where I’m a bit lost. Still a beginner on the more complex parts (I didnt know anything about bikes two weeks ago).

Unfortunately the rims have a crack in them, so it could explode at any time (I found that out after riding to the local LBS. The brake rims were extremely concave. Have addressed the cranks and front wheel, but having trouble even understanding which hub is compatible when trawling ebay for a second hand cheapy. Campy 9-speed compatible wheels are few and far between. Hoping someone here might have an old but usable one available :-)

Two weeks ago I bought a bike (off ebay) for the first time in 30 years. A Bianchi Road bike.
I thought it was a great deal for this sort of thing until I cheerfully took it to the LBS to get a service. Needless to say there was a lot of tsk tsking at its decrepit state and a long list of replacements which easily tallied to more than the I’d paid for the bike. Returned home to find myself embarking on a crash course in bike culture and terminology and to see if I could get her running without spending more than its worth. There’s been a lot to learn.
I have managed to source a few of the parts required (hopefully the correct sort), a new crankset, a new 9-speed campagnolo cassette, a front wheel, but still need a rear campy wheel or wheelset thats compatible, and possible new seat, pedals, cables, tape, chain, brake pads.
Any help, suggestions welcome.

Hi Gralgav
My turn for apologies. The madness of crumble time distractions. Yes. Still interested, but would love pics to show wear and tear. But if it's in good nick then I'm all for it. Have bought a 9-speed cassette already but if your throwing one in ;-)
