I like everything about that bike! I was just imagining the other day how hard it would be to make a rear wheel just like that. I had no idea that one existed already.
If they come, I will build it.

I just noticed the big hole in the rear wheel for an automotive valve stem...

Did you make the wheel yourself by sectioning actual car wheels?

If so.....That is amazing! How heavy is this thing?

The rear wheel is a Aluminum mag with vintage 60's Hub caps flattened and fit to the wheel. Its 5 speed and has a disc brake now. I will post more pix later. 8)
