I have a nice steel audax bike which is four years old. Wheels need replacing now.
To get handbuilt wheels suitable for touring it will cost £150/£170.
Dilemma is whether or not to sell it and spend say £900 on new Bike
Problem being that my present bike Orbit Helium has Campag Veloce and it seems that I would be struggling to get same quality on a new £800/£900 bike
Any thoughts

If you like the bike, buy the wheels. If you don't like the bike , sell it and buy something new (but you might not like that one either).0

If it's a decent steel frame, new wheels all the way.
Well unless the geometry is wrong.
What's the frameset?Do Nellyphants count?
