Hey Jacco,
Well, changing the wheels would be for several reasons:
1. Weight, the rear weights 3.5KG, I live in a flatter section of DE.
2. Better braking surface (box section) and dual wall wheels for heat capacitance
3. Modern Gearing options for cassette and shifters.
I think I will get it on the road first, feel it out, and then see what is needed. I would keep all the spares.
