Anyone got a fairly decent rear wheel for sale? Purely for aesthetics, I'm after an anodised back rim, not fussed if it's a V or regular, laced onto a nice fixed hub.
Just seeing what people have got for sale before I start searching out parts. Pretty flexible on budget but ideally no more than £100.

i've heard something about bus drivers not being allowed to reverse, i'm guessing because of the poor view they have out of the rear.
I think they're not allowed to reverse with passengers on board, and did think this afterwards. Saying that, I did only need him to move back an inch, not reverse J-turn the thing.

I'm guessing we've all experience some sort of bus driver human being failure, but I had my first one today and I guarantee I'll never beat it.
Riding (crawling) down Oxford St about 6.30 tonight, stopped at the lights and felt a nudge against my back wheel, then my whole bike suddenly go stiff.
Turn around and a double decker has parked right against my back wheel and managed to pin it to the floor. The bumper squeezed the tire enough on the top so it acted like a wedge, absolutely no way I could move forward or back.
So I asked the driver pretty firmly if he would back up an inch to release my wheel (I could see it wasnt buckled, so wasn't that pissed off at first) but the complete twunt just shrugged his shoulders and looked ahead again. Miffed, I banged on the window and shouted "You've run over my wheel, reverse the bus a little bit". Shrug, can't/won't, not my problem. I'm fucking livid at this point, I can't move my bike, if he goes forward any further he'll total my wheel, people walking on the pavement are starting to shout at this knobhead bus driver trying to help me to get him to move back. Finally he does back the bus up, I hear an old lady call him an imbecile, which made my day, and I carry on my way.Any one else had a bizarre bus or car experience, other than the usual near miss?

I know it's just some shitty Halfrauds bike, but did a serious WTF? whilst walking past it.
