    I've a Miche Xpress singlespeed/fixie/track wheelset for sale. I bought them for my singlespeed but only used them a few times - less than 50km on them. They are unmarked and as new. 120mm axle. Asking €120. Collect Dublin city centre or Kildare town/Newbridge area.

    Pics later but the same as these:

    The blurb:

    The Miche Xpress Track Wheelset are fixie-style wheels with a medium-profile alloy rim. They have a double thread on the large-flange hub that can be used for either a fixed sprocket or freewheel, so they offer great versatility. Cross spoke lacing on both the front and rear wheels ensures rigidity and resistance, while the all black finish provides a distinctive ‘street’ look and feel.

    Assembly involves careful spoke lacing and pre-tightening, followed by mechanical stabilisation to settle the components into position. Controls are then made for accurate dishing and lateral and vertical centring, using computerised monitoring and automated processes to guarantee optimum quality.

    Rim:
    Black anodised, clincher, medium-profile, lightweight high resistance alloy. A finely ground braking zone ensures precise and safe braking
    Hub:
    Lightweight, CNC-finished, anodised forged alloy body. High-precision grease-filled bearings guarantee long lasting protection and smoothness. The double-threaded rear hub accommodates a fixed sprocket or freewheel
    Spokes:
    32/32 black stainless steel, cross pattern
    Axle:
    100/120mm
    Extra Features:
    Kit includes hub nuts, sprocket lock ring, use and maintenance instructions

    Thanks for the offer but its much too low. I'll post some pics of the actual wheels tonight so you can see their condition.

    Presume there's brake wear on them at this point?

    Very little - according to Strava I did 66km in total on the single speed and some of that was on the original wheels so I reckon that they have 50 km at most on them - probably less.

    I'll include a photo of the braking surfaces tonight

    Its worth noting that what's in the pics is what's for sale. I'll probably be able to find the hub nuts but can't find the sprocket lock ring, use and maintenance instructions. There's a slight nick in one rim which is included in the pics:

    They look in great nick, again I insult but I can jump to 85 before payday. Just back in Dublin so can collect in the CC if you get no better offers.

    They're the nearest you'll get to new. Evans, who are keen on price, are selling them at €172 so the saving is substantial.

    I feel your pay day pain but €100 is the lowest that I'll go - they're a bargain at that. I can bring them to work (Grafton St area) tomorrow or Thursday if that suits?
