I was wondering what value these wheels might have. They are back ups that I keep just in case but I am considering selling them to fund a Brooks saddle purchase.

The brake surface area is good and the hubs spin smooth. The wheels do not have any hops and they are true.
27 in.

You will never ever find a replacement. Super Champion go for bucks NOS!! Also, I feel it's a must to have a backup wheel set or two. It's a nice set of wheels. Figure the high flange hubs are worth $75-100 and the rims $50-75 to the right buyer, so, $150-175 on the high side. They may even fetch $225. But really, I wouldn't sell them. On the right bike, they're worth way more than how much you can sell them for. And besides, Brooks isn't going anywhere.
