FS- budget 650b wheelset

[Adam Moss]

Hi all,

I have a set of 650b wheels gathering dust in my bike shed and want to pass them on. They came off a Cheviot I purchased, upgraded, and eventually sold.

Shimano 105 hubs, VO rims. They have some unbranded tires and tubes on and seem to be in great shape and spin true. Maybe someone more well versed than me can help with the spacing they would be coming a Cheviot frame?

I'm not sure what a fair price would be but I was thinking in the ballpark of $200. Great wheel set for a commuter or someone on a budget. Please feel free to make an offer.

Thanks,

Adam in Berkeley

Spacing of 105 hubs would have been 100 and 130.  The Cheviot should have 100 and 135.  So, either you bought the bike with the frame squeezed down to 130 -or- maybe the person who sold you the bike had re-spaced their 105 rear hub to 135.  Your buyer and you will need to figure that out together.

Thanks Bill, I had a feeling you might be the one to clarify as I'm a frequent reader and infrequent poster :)

A few folks have emailed me already. I'll post some photos later on and I'm not too excited about the idea of trying to ship these. Thanks!

Here's some photos. I count 36 spokes. Open to any reasonable offers. Thanks!

Did you get a read on the rear spacing?

Thanks for the bump Joe. From what I can measure I'm pretty certain they're actually 135. 

Open to any and all reasonable offers for a localish buyer. Thanks!
