I'm trying to get a retro 26" wheelset together for my Cannondale M800 build and eBay is drawing blanks. If my youth is anything to go by then I suppose most people's wheels got trashed back in the early 2000s?
I'm aiming for Hope or Ringle hubs - preferably in red, blue or gold. Or failing that a set of Deore XTXTRs. All to fit a 7/8 speed cassette. Rim-wise I'm after Mavic 121 SUP CDs or 217s - or anything that's fairly light and will take a beating.
Desperate to avoid buying a new set of wheels, what do you reckon - does decent stuff at a reasonable price tend to turn up eventually?
