Classic & Vintage - Will these wheelsets fit my 1986 Inronman Dave Scott edition Centurion?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I have a 1986 Inronman Dave Scott edition Centurion that needs some love (cracked rear hub, missing teeth on the rear, 6-speed cassette, etc). Any reason why these wouldn't work for me?

And what would be a reasonable price for these?
Thanks

Yes... but since you didn't already know that, I'm guessing you don't want tubulars.

If I was in your shoes, I'd get them, but not everyone will agree with me, because they're tubular.
I'd offer $100 on the wheelset because they're tubular and the market is teeeny-tiny for those.
Then spend $25 on Tufo tape. Then get the best tubulars you can afford. I like Tufo's, but not everyone does.
You may end up with close to $200 involved. Balance that cost against the clincher wheelsets available.
They're out there, and clinchers may make better sense in the long run.
I'm running some on a modern Kestrel with modern 10-sp wheels, just fine.
They will look like clinchers, roll very nicely, and be a little bit hard, but nowhere near as hard as the Ironman's original 700x19 Technova's.

^I've been wanting to try tubulars, so if it was me I would buy them too. It even has a freewheel that will plug right in to your index system.

Well said. I'm going to pass on the tubulars (now that I know what they are). I appreciate all the quick responses.
