Looking for a early post war 26" x 1/14" front wheel. Anyone have one? I think it may be an Endrick or Dunlop lightweight, chrome or alloy rim.

I have various rims that could probably help you
do you have a picture of the back rim you already have?

let me know if you can't find other rims

just found the thread

looks like your back wheel is Alloy (I might be wrong), don't think mine would work, if you want the unmarked rims in the last picture to try (I have the pair), I can give them to you, just pay shipping, and pay it forward!!!

It's a neat bike, didn't know there was a 4 speed cyclo, I have only seen 3 speeds, I would tend to think it's closer to 1949 than the earlier years

np, let me know if you can't find any, I will send you the unmarked pair
I can even send them collect to you, there must be a shipping company that does that between Canada and the US
