(Now sorted and thank you for your help) 5 speed wheels (700cc) for retrobuild

Fish_n_Chips · 2010-06-15T21:28:05+01:00

Found an old bike in the old mans shed with battered wheels. Even the rubber had moulded away but sure its 700c wheels and 5speed cogs on the back. Rides like a dream but wheels are buckled. If anyone has some wheels or know where to get some in the Bristol region appreciated.

Thanks for the help (I couldn’t log in away from home pc) I managed to source some wheels -6 speed wheels where the LBS respaced and jigged to centre the running line. £30 ea and £5 dishing and labour -traditional LBS and great service.
@The Hatter – if you ever bin the freewheel in the future-let me know and I may bargain with beer money etc. Luckily the old thing seems ok… 😀
