Hi, I hava a mid '70s French 10/now 12-speed, that I really love and have been upgrading. I'd like
to replace the wheelsets[Samir Saminox rims, Normandy hubs] with something superior. I know my
choices are limited and my knowledge is even more so. The options, so far, are the wheelset offered
by Harris, there is pair in the Nashbar catalog, and various choices on Ebay. So what do you guys
recommend? Should I buy new or possibly put a WTB ad out for good used? I don't think my budget will
allow custom building. I'd like to keep it under $200 new and closer to $100 for used, but that may
be flexible. I would think that there has got to be some really nice high end wheelsets, just
sitting around and that they shouldn't be worth all that much. A long time rider might have a set or
two, just collecting dust. They must be for clincher and obviously they must fit on my bike;-) Any
help, suggestions, brands to look for, brands to avoid, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jeff
