Cracked Rim

Very true
Much like when you wheel in a retro bike
After the oooh's and aaah's they soon turn to the "you really need a nice new shiny one"
In my opinion, which is limited, the picture says it all
If I'd sold them, and you sent me that pic, I'd be thinking out the way forward;
1) Return them for a full refund (it will cost you to send them back though)
2) A part refund, on the basis that 1 is ok, plus the hub and spokes on the damaged one should be ok
Can you source a new rim though?

Many thanks - well drop him a line.
You're thinking exactly along the same lines as me and I have been doing a bit of looking on the old Bay of E. But even if I found a rim NOS I'd have to figure in the cost of having it built as well - No experience in that field.
We must have been to the same shop!

Probably have!
I'm sure the 'world' is crying out for bike shops that don't just try and sell you new bikes
I know there are some around, and even some users on here have them, they just don't seem to be anywhere near me!
Retrobike is about the closest I can get!
Wheel building is an art, best left to the professionals I think (I need to respoke a 27 year old hub and rim, and I know it's going to end up costing me more than I want to spend to get it done properly)
