Hi folks, trying to clear out some old stuff and thinking of moving these on. No pics at present due to camera woes but can probably arrange some if there's interest.

Hope Ultralight F and Ti-glide R built onto Campagnolo Lambda rims. F spoking is 28H radial with rare and super-cool Ti-dye titanium spokes and the whole F wheel is mega light. The R is a little more prosaic with 32 steel spokes laced 3-cross for strength. Still a very light wheel though not as spectacularly light as the F.

The freehub is titanium and spaced for Shimano cassettes. It will accept an 8, 9 or 10 speed freehub. Rear hub spacing is 130mm, standard for road bikes. If you're going to run a 9 speed setup then I could include a Dura-Ace cassette, but I have no 10 speed gear sorry. I can include a pair of titanium skewers as well. The skewers are anodized in light blue (so are the hub flanges), I don't remember the make off hand and the wheels are currently in storage.

There are tubs mounted, good Continental tubulars. The F is in great shape but the rear is more worn. I could include a pair of new Conti tyres for a small cost, and the ones mounted would be good spares, especially the one on the F. If you want a really light bike then sprints are the way to go, of course.

So, any interest?? I guess I'd be looking for something around £100, though part-ex could be an option.

Cheers, Gareth.
