Looking forward to the wheels coming back together with the hubs.

I'm being super indecisive about what I should do with the rims, should I paint them or should I leave them bare metal? I was thinking it would look pretty cool if I pinstriped the bare metal. But paint with Pinstripes wood look good as well.
 
Laced up the rear wheel today, I miraculously managed to lace it exactly the way I took it apart. These old wheels are laced super funky compared to new Wheels. Also decided to leave the bare steel rims, so I get the. Bragging rights of having the only completely bare Steel Twin-Bar in existence probably :D.

Finished lacing up both Wheels, now I just have to tension and true the wheels. As well as rebuilding both hubs.
 

Wheel building ramblings & the beautiful brass and steel Elgin hubs.

AWESOME!
 
Beauty! And a great fountain shot too. Looks like a keeper Scribs!
 
Congrats on a sweet Twin Bar! It came out great bare!
 
For next build (or maybe even this one) try some different wheel lacing pattern (three leading- three trailing maybe?)
