Sold 28” Faux Wood Clinchers

[KevinsBikes]

Nice set of hubs, front is New Departure SM and rear is a mostly NOS Model D I assembled. Kenda tires with conti tubes $65 extra. Firm on price due to the excellent condition of the hubs.

Those are so cool! I wish I had a bike to put them on!

What’s the story on those rims? Were they on something you built or did those actually come from the factory on something?

I buy them from Europe this way and build in Old hubs using NOS spokes. They are brand new rims, Westwood profile (English style) but are 700c/622 size so common tires found here fit and make them 28”.

I just did this to fill the gap making 28” bikes ridable, instead of using real wood rims with expensive and heavy single tube glue-on tires.

Well, guess I’m going to have to scrounge up the right bike and have you build some rims!

They are awesome wheels!

Give an older bike a more responsive feel.
