mixing old and new

I have new mavic rim to put old motobecane but i do not want to convert all components due to cost. Does anyone make a freewheel hub that will lace up to the newer 700 rims?

Phil Wood does, you can also pick up many freewheel hubs either NOS or slightly used that you can then lace to 700 rims. The real question is the hub spacing you need for your frame. Do you happen to know that?

Didn't the OP just ask this question a little while ago in another thread? If so, why bother to create a new thread to ask the same thing?

Didn't he/she like the answers already offered in the previous thread?

I was thinking the same thing.

perhaps it dropped too low and the OP can't find it now
