A bit of al fresco surgery

On the bench today

A rear wheel from a late '50s Dommie, will re use the heavy guage galv spokes ( which will clean up ok) and lace the hub into an 18" Borrani with new chromed brass nipples. Got a matching 19" rim for the front, they'll get a pair of Avon Distanzias and go on the Norton desert racer.
