wheels, choices oh choices! or n+1!

[young Ed]

i was out with 3 of you on here and at lest 2 of you said my rear wheel is buckled which i already new to an extent and i am now looking at what to do as i think it is too buckled to ever have running perfectly straight again

so i am looking at 2 options really
1)new bike (i am looking at either building a recumbent or buying a new upright)
2)buy a new rear wheel or a new wheel set

if a new diamond frame upright thingy then i am looking at the triban range

if a new rear wheel or a new wheel set i am looking at either shimano r501's or the fulcrum 7's

the fulcrums's are about double the price of the r501's but are they twice as good?
any other wheels that are worth a look? must be 700c and must take at least 28c tyres. do the r501's and the fulcrums take 28c?
Cheers Ed

will see what funds look like in a few months time and then potentially just get new wheel/s and then transfer them to new bike when i eventually get one

and yes @ianrauk is right i do need a new bike, although i didn't do to bad as for keeping up today on my cheap steel frame hybrid always spinning top gear against 3 of us on here @ianrauk included all on ti frames and carbon forks! :P

Not really . I'm likely to buy a new bike for no reason at all .

many people on here by a new bike simply because their current bikes are running perfect!

You want a recumbent purely for the experience of building it?
Or do you intend to do something with it once built?

i plan to build it for both experience and because i want to 'do something with it when it is done'! guess what the do something with it is?! i'll give you a clue, it is riding it!

any ideas of the minimum and maximum size tyres for the shimano r501's and the fulcrum7's can take? ie 700X20c and 700X32c or whatever?
