36 in the front, 32 in the rear?
Hi All,

Looking for some opinions. A recent salvage bike me and my buddies came across had two lovely vintage hubs on it, but with 36 spokes in the front and 32 in the rear. I've never seen a front wheel with more spokes than the rear. Is it common? Is there a reason for it?
