BTW, unless you're looking for a vintage set in particular I think modern wheels is the way to go. Generally You can get some for less than a 100 bucks in your neck of the woods.
Yeah, I'm gonna order a rear wheel and save the hubs and spokes from these cracked wheels. Eventually I'll tackle building wheels so the hubs and spokes will be useful. Considering how expensive new spokes are it kinda makes sense to recycle old wheels as much as possible.
Weird that it's more cost effective to buy an entire wheel, new or used, than the components to build one. I guess wheel makers must get discounts on bulk orders of spokes, otherwise it couldn't be cost effective.
