Now that feels a whole lot better
Can't believe the difference new wheels make to the look of a bike. Very happy at this point with something that's starting to look like a real bike. I've picked up some new brake blocks and pedals to help finish things off a little. I would like to have kept the original pedals except for the small point of the chrome peeling away. Really not worth re-chroming basic pedals.
Can't wait to get a ride on it now, it won't be long!
Own one of these bikes, a friend of mine just buckled my back wheel.... was wondering where you purchased your wheels from.

I got them from my local bike shop. Fortunately these bikes take a standard 700C road bike wheel. You will find the width of the wheel a little bit wider at the hub than the originals. There is enough spring in the frame to get the wheel in. To be honest, I wheeled the bike into the shop and asked for new wheels. If you want to call them directly, it was the Haywards Heath Cycle Centre.
