Very nice indeed, can you tell me what kind of wheelset you used, and if they're 28" rims?

Thanks,

Wheelset For Restored Iver Truss

Hi Dave,
I'll let Scott give you the exact particulars, but I'll tell you what I know. The tires are 28" x 1 1/2" Cream Schwalbe Delta Cruiser bike tires. The rims are imported 28" x 1 1/2" 36 hole Westwood style rims with a chrome finish. I believe the rims are also available in black with a gold pinstripe. Scott had my original rear hub replated and replaced my original 32 hole front hub with a 36 hole hub to match the new rims. I also believe this is the same wheel/tire combo that "Luxlow" is selling on eBay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-28-...041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58ae75d991 Pete in Fitchburg

Thanks for that info Pete.
I have an old set of those rims in the attic, now to find a decent front and rear hub.

Thanks again!
Dave
