Howdy. I'm in the midst of a vintage bike resto-mod; the bike originally came with 27" wheels but I intend to replace with 700c wheels. I may also want another set of 700c wheels for a similar project later on.
There's two wheelsets for sale near me for $180; a set of Mavic Aksium Race and DTSwiss r1800. These both seem to be decent quality, sorta entry-level wheels. Alternatively, I could spend basically the same amount for a brand new Shimano rs-100 wheelset, which similarly appears to be a decent budget wheelset. Of course the condition of the used set will make a big difference, but assuming in good shape, would it make sense to get the used wheels or new wheelset?
