My First G519

[JimRoy]

Hi Cabers. I'm building my first G519 Huffman, starting with the frame. What can I expect to pay for a set of wheels? I restore approx 10 prewar bicycle a year (20s& 30s), and I built my own wheels, but never a G519. Thanks, JimRoy

Hello JimRoy
There was a set sold on the Cabe a few weeks ago by Krakatoa. Seems like it was 200 bucks per wheel but not sure. Are u doing a Huffman or Columbia frame? J

Huffman

Huffman

I’m dont know how I missed that in your initial post. I guess I’m going blind. I have a 43. What year is your frame?

43

I assembled the bike tonight, before I tear it down an head to the weld shop to repair a few frame issues. Obviously I need a few more parts ( wheel, seat, bell, etc).

I finished building the wheels this past weekend. They turned out nice.
