Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Anyone seen a hub, spokes or rim like this before?
At the BVCC social evening tonight?
Brought in as an item of interest.

Opinions /help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Darren.
 
Earlier than 70's I think. Hub is early, rivetted together Harden like.
Double fixed hub, equivalent to 40 spokes.

Have seen this model previously but do not know maker. First guess would be British. Just imagine what lacing must be like! :mask:

And one would require spokes on the order of 600mm in length. :openmouth:

I would be interesting to call your LBS and tell them you are bringing in a wheel with a broken spoke and ask them about how much would it cost to replace it. Then show up with it and announce proudly, "Here's the wheel I called about, how long will it take?" :p
I think I can guess the reaction in this instance lol.
Although to be fair, they're usually pretty good when I go in for random spokes?
I'm guessing you'd have to get 'penny farthing ' spokes and cut to length and thread yourself.
I don't own this wheel, but I may be involved in cleaning it later in the year.
Will be interesting to find any identifying marks.
