I have the following for sale should anyone be interested:

A wheelset comprised of the following: the rear is a 40-hole hi-flange Racelite hub laced to Rigida Super Chromolux (?) 27 1 1/4 rim with schrader valve, a good condition Panracer tire that holds air and Suntour Perfect five speed freewheel, 14-28. It measures 120 mm. The hub and rim are in very good condition; the rim shines and has only minimal rust, not noticeable. Galvanized spokes laced four across. A front wheel that has a low flange hub, I believe the hub is a Racelite but I cannot read the script on the barrel, not from dirt or rust, but old age eyes (even after recent eye surgery): the script is there clearly, but it is too small for me to read. It is 36-hole laced three across to Arraya 27 x 1 1/4 chrome rim with schrader valve. It has a very good condition Panaracer tire that holds air. The spokes appear to be stainless. The chrome on the rim, both rims, is very good. I have only the wingnuts for the rear; I can probably find four nuts that would match, if one wants a matching set, though not wingnuts.

I have pictures.

$85 plus shipping: from Ohio, approximately $50 to the West Coast and $25 to the East Coast.
