Howdy folks.

I have an extra wheelset that might be useful to one of you. The rims are 36 hole Weinmann marked "WEINMANN 27" x 1 1/4" and "MADE IN BELGIM" and are hook bead. Hubs are Normandy high flange NOT Luxe Competition but they do have the oval holes in the flanges. Front spokes are butted 15/16, appear to be plated and have what looks like a clover on the spoke heads. Rear spokes are galvanized straight 15g and have a backwards R on the heads. I recently rebuilt these wheels as the tension was all over the place and there were spokes crossing under the valve holes. I aligned the hub engraving with the valve hole and relaced the spokes the same at the hub (so no new dents) but reoriented the rim so everything lines up. I scrubbed all the spokes while they were loose but they are still a bit crusty, particular the plated ones. I kept the spokes oriented the same as original so there was no additional bending at the elbows. Anyway, they are nice and true now and certainly fine for a rider. How about $50 including shipping in the U.S. by my choice of carrier? I can post or send some pictures so please ask if you are interested.

P.S. I'm pretty sure these are 120mm spaced and straight lever MM Atom skewers are included.
