WANTED: 700mm Front Wheel for Old Racer
I have been renovating an old Fletcher Contre la Montre and it is all finished other than finding a matching pair of wheels. I really like the rear wheel that I currently have on it and would rather not go through the expense of buying an entire new wheelset so am looking to try and get a front wheel to match it. I have spent many hours trawling through ebay etc with no luck as yet so wondered if anyone in CCA might by chance have a suitable old wheel lying around in the shed...
It needs to be 700mm and quite a narrow rim (possibly 622-13 or 622-15) with a relatively distinctive 'rounded square shape'. I am not necessarily looking for an exact match, just close enough that it does not look odd. It really doesn't have to be in particularly good condition - given the condition of the rest of the bike I'm not looking to spend more than £15-£20. Some photos of the rear wheel to be matched follow below.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this and if you have anything I would love to hear from you.
All the best,
Bryn

I've got this, sort of the right shape but wideish, about 23 mm. Unbranded but works fine. You can have it if it's any use
Are you driving to the velodrome tomorrow? If so would you mind chucking it in the car for me to have a look at? If not don't worry, I think it is a little wider than what I am looking for.
All the best,
Bryn
