Bikes: Sakae Prism, Vintage Fuji bike(S), too many bikes, one from scratch bike.

Try your local Goodwill or other thrift store for any old 10 speed that has alloy rim wheels on it, even the most basic bike boom types usually had Araya or Ukai wheelsets that were heavy, but of fair quality. Usually priced around $10-$15.
With a Shimano hyperglide freewheel these old single-walled rims are often lighter than modern aero wheelsets.
