Wheel with woven spokes.
Has anyone even seen a wheel laced up with spokes that are wrapped around each other?
It's hard to describe, every two adjacent spokes are wrapped around each other.
I found it at my local bike kitchen and put it on the truing stand, they're just about perfect.
I'll put up pictures later if anyone's interested.

I've been thinking it would be cool to have one of those.

I ran a set laced like that on my MTB, heavy but worth it.

Ezra,
We have (or had) one of these at the shop. It was built with a really craptastic rim and hub but it was pretty.

BTW do you still want the Schwinn cruiser frame that's in the shed? You have a hold on it from a little while back.
