30 years? That's nothing! I remember that even 30 years ago, they just
didn't make 'em like they used to.

An old Raleigh I had might possibly have been older than me.

After several back wheel failures I ordered a rim and SS spokes - having
never got around to finding a wheel builder, I outed it on a free recycling
group as a restoration project.

As I'd welded a lamp bracket to the forks, a replacement set was thrown in
with it.
