Scott,
I have a 700c wheelset I used for awhile on my Sam. The front is a 32h Shimano
DH-3D71 on a Salsa Delgado Cross rim and the rear is a 36h RynoLite with a
Shimano SLX hub. Super strong. I'd toss in a Shimano 11-30 8 speed cassette as
well if you have a use for it. I'm in Seattle as well.
BBC bikes? Those guys are nuts!
