Well, not so broken that it won't spin. But it doesn't have any considerations for braking, no MSW, no disc brake flange, no drum brake. It's a front dyno hub for an old motorbike frameset I'm building (restomodding, I guess).

Is this normal for this corner of the hobby?? Please tell me that someone else has chopped together pieces like this before, just to make things look as streamlined as possible. It's literally a new-built wheel that doesn't go on any other bike and is impossible to slow down. I do think it will look sick though..

(I just ordered spokes, I promise to put up pictures when it's done)
 
Looking forward to some pictures of what you have going on.

Raw brass nipples from Moné, sapim leader spokes, linseed oil to prep (I have to tension it before it sets 😬)

Going to build the rear around a Sturmey archer s2c. Definitely a bike for no one else!
