Spoke sets from me in stainless are £55 per wheel.
The rims on the early bikes are DiD and if looked after are good rims just as good as excels, many people didnt so are prone to corrosion on the inside of the rim and due to the age of the rims now many have rotted through if they havent been looked after.
The early rear hubs were prone to fracturing if you didnt keep a good check on the bearings, i have replaced several colapsed wheels due to early rear hub failiures due to siezed bearings.
