Were you thinking of a quick rebuild, or do you think you'll want to use this pretty frequently in future? Might be worth investing in a pair of new rims.

I was referring to the sew up rim being dual wall; impossible for those to be single, right?

Quick rebuild. I have a strong suspicion this bike will end up with 700c wheels. And after struggling with getting the dainty locknuts onto those keyed Normandy axles, I don’t think it will have French hubs. And after having to soak the plastic shifters in hot water to get the cables out, I don’t think it will have French shifters! I love France, but gimme a break!
