Anyone have a still usable (life left- not beat or in need of major rebuild) rear wheel or wheelset out there sitting in their garage just taking up space they want to be rid of? I have a mid 80's Fuji road bike that I have dumped some funds into recently- partly because of it's age, partly because of a minor crash. Last week after just getting it out of the shop, I dropped the chain off the inside 2 times (shop probably did not do the adjustment right for that to happen that way) and the spokes started snapping (this wheel did not have any chain guard on it) It was showing some stress/wear at the spokes of the rim too. It is a 700C (probably 25c) with sew-ups/tubular rims. But I would be up for any options clinchers or sew/ups deals someone would have that would work on this set-up. I do not want to put another large expense into it right now, and can't swing anything in a newer replacement ride right now.
It is a six speed threaded freewheel, and I can have local bike shop spin off the existing freewheel if needed (If the rear does not have the correct gear set or you have done a removal for some reason.)
If it is a wheel set then I'd be looking for the them to be pretty close to true - not something I need to dump more funds into at the local bike shop.
