    If the price is right you should do a roaring trade on here, @T rims are notorious for rotting and stainless spokes would be a great replacement.
    Best of luck mate, I'd be interested if I didn't run a Varadero with alloys!
    If I do buy another @T I'll be in touch!

    I'd be interested too, depending on cost. I've a pair of hubs I'd like to be rebuilt for a set of road tyres.

    Where will the wheels be built and sent from (said with one eye on the location in your profile)?
    1990 Africa Twin RD04
    2003 Triumph Tiger 955i
