IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
I'm building up an old bike I found in a skip for a friend to attempt to get him on two wheels.
Trouble is, I'm lacking the wheels bit. I did have an offer of some wheels that fell through, and haven't had much luck at the Bike Station.
Does anyone have an old set of 700c wheels for a 28-32ish tyre that is gathering dust that they might want to sell? Needs to be nothing fancy, and as I've yet to sort out the drive train, it can be freewheel or freehub.
I have a rear wheel for rim brakes (I think it has an 8 speed cassette or freewheel attached too) that I mooched off wingpig ages ago. Never used it. Rims have some salt corroded alloy 'spots' but basically sound. You're welcome to that.
@crowriver I would be happy to take that off your hands (should have mentioned I am looking for rim-brake wheels). 8 speed would be perfect also.
That only leaves a front wheel, which is a much simpler proposition.
I have an old front wheel I have not used in a year since getting a new front built with the dynamo. I changed as I think the rims were getting thin but then again it doesn't have any wear indicator. It might do as a start until you get something newer so I'd be happy to donate it to your cause.
That would be most generous Dave, I don't think this bike will be doing a serious amount of work, most likely a thing of occasional pleasure rather than a hard working steed.
"...or freewheel..."
"...8 speed would be perfect also..."
That would be the fella. I couldn't remember...
