Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Wheelset shopping and comparison

i'm helping my friend turn an old peugeot into a fixed/freewheel singlespeed and we've only got to find a new wheelset. any suggestions for conversion on a budget? he's not looking to spend more than $130 or so on the wheelset. if anyone's got any for sale i wouldn't mind hearing about them either.
