Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Spokes came in. The sizes I needed apparently aren’t a standard size. I found that Porkchop had custom cut stainless spokes for a very reasonable price. They seem to be good quality too. Hopefully I’ll get some wheels built in the next couple of days!
Did that myself. For last 2 or 3 sets that I built. Been happy with the products. Good luck with the spoking and the trueing.
Got the wheels laced up. I’ll true then when I make a final decision on the color of the bike. Most likely they will stay black.
Got the tires mounted and the wheels stuck on for a quick mock-up. I’m really liking the look. Feels like 27.5 is a good size and they fit with plenty of room to spare. Should probably clear on a middleweight frame too. I’m really liking the direction that this one has taken. A little more frame straightening and this one should be ready for paint.
I really like this Kram! The rounded rims contour right into the sidewalls of your tires , gives it a great look.
This build is giving me a vintage Euro dirt track racing vibe. Maybe a traditional color like the one on this car would work? Or a dark gold, titanium / platinum silver?

ohhh that Alfa....
I really like the profile of these rims. It’s really close to what the old wood rims looked like. Normally that is very close to color I would choose, but this one is going to have a fairly unconventional paint job.
