Anybody got a 20" wheel?

Before I go ordering something, I thought I'd see if anybody has an old 20" wheel sitting around somewhere they'd take a couple bucks for... Smiley

406 or 451? The 406 rims I have are crap, I keep 'em for trailers and whatnot. I also have some really good 451 wheels with Alex R390 rims and Campy Centaur and Veloce hubs. The Veloce hub rim has about 8K miles on it, it goes cheap, $20. The Centaur hubs are new or nearly new, they'll cost you. All hand built by me.

Opus,  this is an old Vision R44 and it came with a 406.  I don't think a 451 will fit with the brakes.  I'm setting this up for touring with a trailer so I'm not worried about speed.  As long as I can find a double wall that can be trued, I'll be happy.  I thought I'd ask here 'cause I went through two shops and there seemed to be so much confusion on what they could and couldn't get (and how much it'd cost) that I was ready to throw my hands up and quit.  If you, or anyone else, doesn't have a good 406 laying around, maybe you could recomend a good source.  Thanks!

No.  I appreciate you checking Don Johle's for me, but they never called me back on that OR on the pedal extenders, which I eventually just bought at RBM.  RBM said they can't get a 1.5" so I decided to just swap between my Actionbent and the Vision until I get the bike together.  I'm not in much of a hurry anyway.  I just got in the chain from The Hostel Shoppe yesterday and I'll probably replace the shifters before I really start riding it.  Heck, it might be another month before I get it in the kind of condition where I really NEED a wheel, just wanted to see what was out there.  I found out it's better to start looking BEFORE you actually need something 'cause when you need it NOW, nobody's ever got one in stock.
