I got a wheel like that at my mums - might not be the same twist pattern - but will get a picture up soon

I used 189s Gary ... should have been 184s for a normal build... I think they might be too long but I'll find out when I true it up ... not doing the other till I'm satisfied

Looking sweet Ed!

Interested to see how you get on with the spoke length, are you gonna start at the valve hole and do single turns on each nip to start with?

They look cool Ed (in a '90's way)

Cyclesport did Me some wheels like that way back when, I didn't have them long but I'm sure that the spokes came loose a lot & they made funny noises!
