Hi... it's probably a good idea to put a bit more in that Subject line to grab the right people's attention...

do you have the rim and the hub? 40h 26x1-1/4" rims are not easy to come by. 40h SA 3s hubs are a fair bit easier to come by.

Spokes and build is likely to come to around £50. I would strongly recommend the use of spoke washers (possibly two per spoke) if you are putting modern spokes into an old SA hub.

cheers
