I probably have a pair of stock wheels from a triban 3 available 
... sure my OH would be delighted if I parted company with them. They need new cups & cones. bearings were OK last time I looked.... even have a box that their replacement wheels came in...
Assuming of course that your friend won't see that as taking the mickey...

I've replied via PM as it's likely I'm passing yours on Monday en route to Berkshire.

OK - I am correct for once with terminology... tis this http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesday-Cup-and-Cone-Hub-Rebuild-2011.html
they are slightly and unevenly worn and were in my view needing replacing, but I was getting fed up of re-greasing the bearings every 6-8 weeks with the mileage at the beginning of the year I was doing (+1,000km a month) and the surfaces I was on (think converted railway) so upgraded the wheels to CX version of Fulcrum 7 racings. My OH is still on the original stock wheels having not taken the bike off road and they have been fine for him.

not too bad... done it many times now - regreasing the bearings that is. just need the cone spanners (plus new bearings & grease). easier than building a pc from scratch but you need the bike it is going onto handy to get the tension correct, otherwise I would offer to assist...
was guessing that you knew about that side of life when you stated

Nope, although I did get into IT by building computers from scratch
I think I might gracefully decline your kind offer, any repair that requires a certain amount of 'just so' intuition tends to end badly for me.

This mission is proving trickier than I thought it would!
