Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm giving serious thought to un-building the wheels so I can clean and polish the hubs and rim, not to mention the spokes.
I'll be lacing an old Campy hub to a new rim for a customer this week. The hub will be polished with Mother's aluminum polish first.

Wow. That's well beyond my level of ocd. Better be sure you can find spokes. Here they are just not available, during the Covid.

Well I'm guessing I did not win. I didn't hear from my realtor so I think it's safe to assume someone out bid me.
She sent me a text Sunday that the seller had called highest best by Monday 10am, "in case I wanted to raise my bid" I asked if they would like a kidney. This market is out of control.
