the Wheel Fanatyk......having seen quite a few wood rims here at the barn for restoration projects and older track wheels i can honestly say that i have never seen any built as fine as these. These rims have layers of wood that are beveled end to end and then shaped as you see in the photo creating a layered finish. Unlike wood rims of the past that were rolled to a finger joint. Impressive stuff and i was surprised at the 460g weight and how many small builders had them built on to their show bikes. Make sure you check out his website....cool stuff.

in all honesty, it was the trueing stand that originally brought me into his booth.
