Winter build
Now is the season to build, and this time it isn't my typical vintage stuff. I'll be getting bits and bobs for the next couple of months, the frame doesn't come until January. So I'll post pictures of stuff as it comes in. To start, I will build some wheels, and for the record, internal nipples are a PITA.

Cambria may sell an inexpensive spoke, but thet sent me straight gauge instead of double-butted.
I guess the wheels will have to wait until next weekend.

Nope, they are straight gauge, 2mm everywhere. But I called Cambria today, they were really cool and sent out DB spokes today. I should have them by Wednesday so I have something to do over the long weekend.

And speaking of tires, I got these in from a seller in Austria, the dollar is kicking ass.

Yep. I am tempting the cycling gods.
But, >knocks on wood<, I burn through tires long before I need to true. I'll check the spokes at those times.
