Hi everyone.

I am trying to refurbish an old french bike-boom era bicycle, model name "Liberia". It's pretty similar to an old Peugeot model. It's a steel frame bike, with mafac brakes and simplex dérailleurs. I am thinking about replacing the wheels/rims to the bike- the ones I have now I believe came with the bike, and are steel themselves, quite heavy, and more than a little rusty. They are size 27 1/4, made in France. Does anyone have any suggestions about a lighter and more modern set that I could buy or look out for? Thanks to anyone who could shoot me some advice.
