Very nice SK. Nice looking on the bike too. I like that touch of color to spice it up without it being overdone.

Well done SK!
Great pictures and I do like the splash of colour on the wheels.

Congrats on the wheels! What did you use to lube the spoke threads?

Hey, I need a new set of wheels, when do you open for business? Originally Posted by roguedog

Good job, SK. So wheelbuilding is easier than knitting? Akin to knitting?

Thank you, ma'am. I was truly amazed at how fast and easy it is to lace the spokes. Even dishing was pretty fast. But getting them true and removing hops is an art. I have a long, long way to go. Originally Posted by aka_kim
