What should I do with this??
Picked it up at the bike Co-op. It came with a Regina 7-speed freewheel. Now what?
It seems to be made out of some sort of light weight wood, so it will suck in the rain. Tubular rim, but that does not bother me.
Option 1: E-bay. Is it worth anything?
Option 2: Trick out the Huffy Aerowind.
Option 3: Put it on the commuter bike and sell advertizing.
Option 4: ???

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I think the Ambrosio disc wheels were made out of fiberglass, or perhaps a lot of carbon fiber. They weren't light, that's for sure.
It'd make a heck of a Christmas ornament.

4. - Target practice. 
Actually, #3 sounds most reasonable - as long as strong crosswinds aren't an issue.

Gotta have one sooner or later. Get it done up in 80s Italian colors like Atomic Guava fade to Alien Pineapple with refrigerator white airbrushed accents.

Spin it on the hub while dragging a brush loaded with black paint over the entire surface. This will create a black disk. Place at 600 yards and use as a rifle target. The shooter who punches out the central hub wins a turkey.

Steel is real, baby!
Make it into a Lazy Susan.
I'm thinking "outside the box", though.

No one cares
paint it to look like a Pizza and put in on your bike. Just make sure no one Taco's it.
Or better yet paint it with black a white swirleys like this and see if you can hypnotize some pedestrians:

I've watched a few similar go on ebay for more than I would have expected. Personally, one's in my future, but I don't have a proper funny bike frame yet.
