Is it possible to find a decent quality rear 27' wheel anywhere? I am not looking for anything fancy, just something durable and reliable.

I've visited most of the bike shops in Ottawa, as well as looked online and in the Lambert catalogue, and was not able to find a decent quality 27' wheel. I have an early 70s Peugeot and bought the only 27 wheel available (a cheap Alex) and it started breaking spokes almost as soon as I got it. After looking around, it looks like that cheap Alex is the one and only wheel available, even as a rim.

Suggestions?
