Wheels are built...finished them yesterday afternoon.
Front: polished Formula hub, 15/16g radial spokes with alloy nipples, white Velocity Aerohead
Rear: polished Formula hub, 15g 3-X spokes with alloy nipples, white Velocity Aerohead

Front wheel:



Rear wheel:



Rear has been spaced a little so I don't have to tweak the frame for 120.. rear end



Close up of the hubs. The front hub came out very nice, but the rear needs a little more polishing compound...at some point soon I will take it apare to replace it with brass nipples, and at that time I will polish it up a little more.


So...thats where we are at right now. I pulled the bearings off to polish the hubs so they would stay clean and pressed them back in when done. Too bad there is not a 28H front hub available from Formula...that black stuff was a pain to get off.

HAHAHAH...Spooney..nice to see ya here!



PS: Also polished my seatpost. It it a U.S.E. Alien I picke dup for $50.
