Fixiestyle wheels with gear
Hi
I'm rebuilding a retro racebike and would love to put on a set of wheels as attached.
Problem is, I want to keep on using the old gears (Shimanos with 2 front and 4 back gear), and they seem to be selling this sort of wheel sets only fr single gears.
It's just a city bike, so I'm more concerned with aesthetics than with actual quality (they shouldn't break of course, but I don't have to win any races
)
So does anyone know where I can buy a set of nice wheels with multiple gear casette for a reasonable price?
Thanks!

There should be plenty of vintage-looking wheels that can take a freewheel available. Here's one pair:
4-speed freewheels are likely to be rare, but 5-speed should be readily available.
