Yeah... perfect looking, with looking being the operative word. The rims are a bit out of true, and with rod brakes that's critical. They pulse pretty good. One of the tires got a bubble so I ordered a new pair. While I'm waiting for them to arrive I tried truing the wheels (no truing stand; I use an old fork and eyeball it). I'm not expecting great results. I think eventually I'll have to lace some new westwood rims on them.
Oh, and your Rudge looks more perfect than my Raleigh... pics can hide the subtle flaws.
