Hey y’all,

I’m waiting for Rich to get all the parts to build me a wheelset.

In the meantime, does anybody have a < $200 650b rim brake wheel set they’re willing to part with? Preferably in the Bay Area so I can pick it up instead of pay for shipping.

Thanks in advance!

Nikko

Jeff Bertolet is selling a low-cost 650b wheelset on ibob list.

No experience, but seen some RBW members talk about these in the past w/ mixed reviews. cyclestoussaint 650B
I just went super cheapo with an Amazon StaTru set for under $100 shipped. I do not expect much from them but they'll do fine until I get around to building my new wheels. After that, I'll donate them to a local coop for some 26" conversion thing or wheel truing lessons. Good luck!

Brain at Cycle Seattle (StoneHog.com) purchased a Cycles Toussaint frameset 5 years ago and wrote several posts about it.
