Pair of Vintage 700B (28 x 1 1/2) Westwood Rim Wheels with Lubricator, 88/112.8mm Spacing RO21

This pair of 635mm steel wheels features classic Westwood-profile rims, engineered specifically for traditional rod-brake and vintage utility bicycle builds. Manufactured in France, these vintage wheels run on traditional hub assemblies equipped with integrated oilers/lubricators, ensuring period-correct mechanical engineering for early-to-mid 20th-century bicycle restorations. The hubs are configured with a narrow 88.0mm front spacing and 112.8mm rear axle spacing, making them compatible with classic European city frames and vintage touring bike standards.

Technical Condition and Wear Assessment

As a pre-owned vintage item, this wheelset exhibits specific wear characteristics from decades of storage. There is visible surface oxidation present on both the steel spokes and the rims. Mechanically, both wheels are straight and the set is fully usable for vintage builds. The front wheel spins true, while the rear wheel displays a slight wobble that can be corrected with minor spoke tension adjustments. Please consult the photographs closely, as the photos make up an integral part of this technical description.
