Yeah, it's not out of true so much as out of round. I didn't get a detailed story about the wheel. Apparently the bike was a prize for a Tacoma newsboy, back when there were such people. It has not been ridden much at all. The gear teeth are all nice and square, and the little odometer on the front fork is at 747.7/8. I could use the front chainrings as a shaving mirror, but I won't.
