This isn't very vintage but I wasn't sure where to post it. A buddy gave it to me. and it won't fit on my '81 Fuji. At least I know it won't fit on my '90 Trek 330 and I'm using the wheel set on my Fuji.

So with that said, does anyone know what I might could get put of it for money towards something for the Fuji?

I've seen new wheelsets like this on craigslist for around $120. But you only have a rear, and I assume it's used? Still, people are always needing rear road wheels. It should bring $40-$50 on CL.

It'll definitely fit the frame of the Trek. Speading the stays from 126mm to 130mm is no big deal. But whether it has the same cassette is a different issue. I'm guessing the Trek has a 7 speed cassette? Which you could run on that wheel with a spacer.

It it will fit I've thought about using using the Treks cassette. Only thing is I only have one black wheel!

Orphan wheels are not worth much. I would start looking for a similar companion. If you are patient, you will find a decent match.

+1 to price range above.
