Hi John, really like the wheels you have covered - particularly the latest ones you have been working on. Could I ask you to do some for me please? I am in Battersea myself so would be no trouble to drop off and I am not in a huge hurry so you are very welcome to fit them around other commitments. Let me know. Best wishes and many thanks, Robert

afternoon...

just finished off a couple more wheels for a customer, thought i would share them as the contrast between a 74 carrera wheel and an early 4 spoke is quite marked

note both wheels have just had a treatment of leather conditioner which adds the deeper more lustrous shimmer to the leather

Image

both have the correct cross sticking...first the early 4 spoke....

Image


then the Carrera...

Image


but even though the early wheel is noticably slimmer than the latter....wind back another decade and see how they look compared to the wooden rim of an early type...


Image



thanks for looking

regards

Hi,
on early 38cm 4 spoke from an RS, can you do a more thicker rim (putting 2 times leather ) ?
I have an 38cm RS wheel and would like to make it thicker.
what would be the price (with shipping back to France (ZIP 94430)
thanks
