Just phoned paul jackson and he has quoted me

New spokes or re-use?
That's a good price for a wheel rebuild, let alone a refurbed drum brake!

Cor, thats good value, Ok I save quite a bit of cash but if I cost in my time it probably wouldn't be worth it. Still, like other members of the group I enjoy the satisfaction of fixing stuff myself and the challenge of keeping the budget tight (Like me) ;)

No problem, just be advised if you go to visit that his workshop is kind of the agricultural back yard shed of yesteryear behind a house that obviously belongs to an engineer not a builder!----but who gives a stuff he does a great job

Hi, The last owner of the bike had good intentions with the bike but took a few daft shortcuts that are fake economy. He had the rear wheel rebuilt with stainless spokes but then scrimped and used a crap, cheaply chromed rim which is now so rusty that there is barely any chrome left on it at all! So I have striped the wheel to bits and will throw the rim and have paul re build the wheel using the existing spokes and a new stainless rim supplied by him. Just hope it wont take 6 months! ride safe.
