Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

My point is that those aren't good wheels. They're decent, but they're nothing you couldn't easily replace, and there will always be someone on Craigslist who will pay more than you bought them for. If you want to build your second bike around them, sell the rest of the parts off of that bike, and if you don't... well, sell the wheels too.

How much do you think I can get for these wheels w/o the tires?

There is a guy interested. He also has a Raleigh Technium (sp?) in a 51cm, that may be my size..being an aluminum frame I am interested in it but I don't know what kind of deal I should try making? Should I just sell the wheels and forget about that frame?

If you're going to build another fixed gear, keep the wheels. What I meant was that if you were going to try to sell the entire bike, you'd be better off selling the parts instead.

Just to clarify, I have that wheelset, and it works great; however, it's not something worth holding onto if you're not going to use it.

Well I am fully satisfied with them, they seem to be pretty good wheels. My major want right now is a different frame..so if there is some way I can profit from selling the wheels, that excess will go towards the frame..
