Doing some wheel building.
As it goes, I ended up with a mis-matched pair of tubulars with 7100 large flange hubs and 1.6/1.8 DB spokes. One of the wheels had crossing spokes flanking the stem so that had to be corrected pretty soon. I also had Normandy Sport hubs on 27 inch clinchers that came on my Peugeot PA-10 which was also not correct. So I dismantled the Dura Ace wheel set and put those mis-matched tubular rims on the Normandy hubs with close-enough used spokes and used nipples. I set aside the Shimano hubs and the ultralight spokes to go with some GP4s that were intended for the Normandy hubs but I think the 7100s are more deserving.

I put the stem on crooked and one spoke off.

Perfect for my next Eroica Bike

These will be nice.
