I rode a 1988 Trek 1000 with Matrix TitanS wheel set on it for almost 20 years. Eventually, the eyelets began to crack and let go, rendering the rims useless. I would consider a new wheel set if I were in your shoes. I traded my Trek 1000 in against a modern Trek 1200 and although I love the new bike, I still miss my old girl. Those bonded aluminum Treks have an excellent ride quality.
