The rear wheel is done !

Just today I took delivery of a brand new Park PS 2.2 wheel truing stand and what better way to test it out than to build up the rear 17" wheel. The rim is from Brett Richardson and drilled to 32 hole rather than the standard 28 hole -why did I do this ?. Well the main reason is that I found a fantastic steel classic type hub and it was 32 hole , it's a brand new hub designed for traditional heavy duty Japanese delivery bicycles and being steel it was easy to get it brass plated so it would match the front hub. The spokes are CN MAC spokes laced in a 3 cross pattern and it turned out rather nice and is very strong. The next job I need to undertake is to fit the solid tyre to both wheels .
