I have an unridden set of budget Shimano 7/8/9/10 compatible tubular wheels that I built on a lark and realize I probably won't use. The hubs are new Tiagra, the lowest line Shimano that have the double seals (contact and labyrinth), QRs included. The rims are NOS Mavic GP4, the older/lighter version, 32 front and 36 rear. Spokes are Sapim Race 14/15/14g. The lacing was a bit of an experiment, but with conservative components it should be plenty sturdy. The rear wheel is 2x crow's foot on the drive side and regular 2x on the non-drive. The front is modified crow's foot since you can't do true crow's foot with 32 spokes, so it is alternating radial and 1x crow's foot. I got the idea to lace this way here: <http://www.geocities.com/spokeanwheel/lacingsr.htm>.
I got all the parts cheap, so I can sell these for $100 plus shipping. If shipping is more than $15 or so I will split the charge (continental U.S. only). Anybody interested? I am also looking for recent Campagnolo 9/10 speed components, Veloce or better so I would trade or partial trade for some of that.
Still got 'em. Nice reasonably light, plenty strong starter or back tubular wheelset :^) I would straight trade these for a nice 9/10S Record rear derailleur with the carbon fiber outer link (maybe split the shipping or something though).
Thanks again, Doug
