Parted with my spare wheels when I sold the Superdream but he was thinking of replacing them with something fancier - I could ask if he still has one... unless someone on here comes up with one.

That's the earlier comstar rather than the later reversed one? I know there was one of those but not sure whether it was front or rear, but I'll ask. |

Its the earlier "silver" type of Comstar I'd prefer at present,I already have the reversed type as fitted to later Cx's etc, as I require it to do a disc conversion on my mid-60's T100,and feel the early wheel will be a better match for the existing Triumph spoked rear, so if its available?.....Morrag

Yes he has a wheel, prolly wants new tyre and tube, he asks single or twin for preference? He hasn't found a spare caliper yet...
He says make him an offer for the wheel.
Next question is, how would we get it from Dorset to Swansea? You going to Basingstoke and can you wait till then?

I know but the cost of the postage would be more than the cost of the wheel I should think - they're bloomin heavy!

I have family friends in Weymouth so if it could be dropped off there. I can arrange for them to bring it to me when next they are visiting, I'm in no hurry. A pic. of the front wheel would be handy Bobbi, and if Its what I want, then I can negotiate a price. Bare wheel, minus tyre, tube etc will be fine, and if a caliper is available that ok, if not no bother, I can sort a suitable one out locally, cheers for that, Morrag
