Didn't get to wheel building like I thought I would. It rained yesterday and today, but tomorrow it's supposed to be nice, so I reverse wrapped the bars of the old Hercules, adjusted the gears, lubed her up, and she's ready for her first ride in decades. Tomorrow morning, I'll put tires and tubes on the Firebolt, and give that it's first test ride in decades too.
