Playing with wheels.

[PHL67]

Been playing with my wheels off the Viscount Aerospace Pro Am today.

Front done rear to do.

Front not done yet. You need to correct the spoke line and stress relieve.

I have put the spokes in and slightly tightened. Friend dishing and truing.

Valve hole in correct place with spokes "parallel" are they the original hubs with sealed bearings?

Yes they are. Say Viscount on the hub.

Like I said, it is not done yet.

Which is more than the Holdsworth wheelbuilder managed on the Mistral I have here. Also used spokes that were too long and filed them down. And the fork steerer isn't in the crown very straight. You can see why most bikes are built in Taiwan now - we were crap at it!

Should look at some non-Schwinn American bikes of the period. Schwinn's World Sport came out in the late 1970's, seemed light, made much better, great bike for commuting, still. Made in Taiwan. Cost $100, no one could believe it. I believe Giant made them.
