Needed vintage parts
Hello, I'm in the middle of rebuilding my favorite road bike and faced a problem that it is almost impossible to find a pair of wheels (630 27 x 1 1/4) in good or rather in new condition. I truly hope you got some idea about the source ;)
Cheers, Balázs (HU)

There are a bunch of (led) vintage style parts on amazon, but these are quite vintage looking like the one i had on my old CCM so maybe too vintage for you. Anyway have a look. Cheers!!

If you can move your brake pads down 4mm and you're not wedded to keeping the bike as authentic as possible, you could switch to 700C and give yourself a vastly wider choice of wheels and tyres.
Try SJS Cycles. They are the best suppliers of obscure and obsolete parts in the UK.
Seconded - always had good service.
