Hi,
I am new to the site and building up a frame. I recently got a Novara Buzz frame at an REI garage sale for $60. I was just online starting to see what parts i could find on the cheap and have been stumped by the wheels already. I like the idea of a hybrid bike, but now that i'm looking for wheels i'm not so sure. does anyone have any good leads to get a decent hybrid wheelset? are disk brake hubs too much to ask?
They must be out there, are they just called something besides hybrid? i mean how are people who already own these rigs supposed to find new wheels? are cycle-cross wheels hybrids? also, does anyone have any suggestions for road gearing as well? i have been a lifelong Mt biker, so this jack's aggrivated spleen getting closer to the road gear.
any help would be appreciated. thanks,
