got this rim for a £1 on the bay, so decided to lace it up, i knew the spokes would be too long but gave it a go, pleased with the result. will be using the sticky on here when i eventually do it

I see you have done a 3 cross pattern, the spokes might be long enough for a 4 spoke cross :daumenhoch:
