Been looking at these for my old GT
[url= http://www.merlincycles.com/pair-handbuilt-wheels-26-non-disc-48983.html ]Here[/url]

Would go to £200 a pair max budget for lighter ones. (Although I don't know the weight of these)
Any other options out there??

Nothing wrong with those, but you might also want to consider used wheels from the classifieds or elsewhere. With so many folks going to disc brakes years ago, and the new wheel sizes taking over, lots of people probably have old 26" wheels that aren't being used. You should be able to pick up some pretty nice ones pretty cheap.

If they have to be rim brake rather than disc then I would look at 2nd hand.

£100 for a pair of hubs, rims, sets of spokes, someone to build them, advertising and backup.
Can't knock modern life really can we?
