Throw all the Maxicar, Campagnolo Sheriff Star, Cinelli Bivalents and Campy HiLo my direction, they are all garbage. Keep those normandys though, they are like bitcoin only better

Some of the freewheels would be worth something if in good shape and not corn cobs. Getting a nice 13-26 or 14-28 isn't that easy or cheap. If not Campy, DA, Superbe, or Phil in good shape, who would want it. I just wonder.

I probably don't have to mention this, but be sure to remove freewheels before cutting the spokes.

De tension spokes before cutting!! Cutting a hub out of a fully tensioned wheel releases lots of load unevenly and damages hub shells--twists 'em.

One thing I've learned from the Clunker 100 Challenge is that lacking a decent set of wheels makes restoring an old bike on a tight budget impossible. I bet an ad on CL offering the ones you don't want for free would bring a truck to your door within an hour.

I couldn't agree more about listing these on this forum. Find a commercially available box that fits a pair of wheels (see Uline) and charge box cost, plus postage, plus a markup for the bike exchange and I think you will see these wheels disappear.
