Title: wheels or mavic rims wanted
Post by: flash on February 08, 2007, 12:34:57 pm

I am after a pair of very good or even better NOS wheels for a 1980 Major Nichol project. 700c 7 speed screw on compatable or 36 hole rims ideally Mavic MA 4 MA 40. Anything considered.

Hi flash
I am doing a retro race bike build kitting out a 531 peugeot frame with campag.  The frame is early 90s and came out the shop with Mavic 195 NE rims on shimano RX100 hubs, 700c it has a 7 speed Hg freewheel 13 to 23 fitted, has Michelin 20mm tyres fitted. The spokes are not db and do not appear to be s/s. The wheels and tyres are very lightly used, would you want to consider? I would send photos.
best David

Dave,
Thank you for the reply. I think I will, unfortunately pass. All my other componants are Campag, so I've decided to try to use the hubs I've got or buy complete wheels with Campg hubs.
Once again thanks for the reply........
