Well, I solved the problem of what wheels to put on the 69 after meeting
a chap from American Dry Stripping of Bridgeport CT at the Newburgh show
a couple of weeks ago.
I had hoped (wished) for a set of minilites but they were just too
expensive right now so i gave Gary five used wires from the heap of them
i have in the garage! - (all checked for true, spline and spoke condition
i hasten to add) after stripping they went to a powdercoater two blocks
away and Voila! a set of five beautiful wires for less than the cost of
one minilite!!
I have to get tyres mounted and balanced tomorrow but im not sure what
type of tape one needs to line the inside of the rim - and prevent the
spoke ends from rubbing the inner tubes - anyone know what this is called
or if it is readily available?
