Going nowhere

[musclebikemadman]

I have been holding on to a bunch of bike frames and wanted to build a lightweight set of wheels for a Klunker build. I have a horrible time with colors in general let alone looking at therm on the computer. i bought these hubs and hoops thinking " oh they will be close enough in color once built you will not be able to tell. Next to the hoops the hubs look pink hahaha. I'm not spending any more $ on these so I will forge ahead. I got the front laced up and will work on the rear this week. I have the frames in storage and will get them in a few weeks when weather really has change for us. I have a 1950 Schwinn heavy weight cantilever and a '51 DX frame. I think I'm going with the DX. Well this is the start of it. Any comments positive ot negative are welcome.

Those Weinmans look sick. Without having seen either bike, I'd go with the DX

Well I got the rear all laced up. It is amazing this whole wheel weighs about the same as some of my rear hubs. I also realize there is no need for 26x2.125 tires on this bike so I will save some more weight there.Considering the DX frame I'm going to use weighs about as much as a subcompact car and I have pipe cleaner legs any reduction in weight is welcomed. I decided to call this build "Going Nowhere" because I currently have about 20 bikes and I'm in no hurry to finish this up as I'm trying to keep $ low and i'm still in need of a bunch of parts.
