Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Midschoolfool:
Well something I never thought I would ever entertain would be chrome wheels. I saw this though and fell in love :LolLolLolLol:
I do have a plan. I know a guy who has built me wheels in the past, and he happens to have chrome Sun Big city Lite rims. So I have pinged him about building me a front one to go with it.
I won't lie, they will very likely end up on my STA. It deserves it the most, given how long I have had it. 8 years at this point. It was the first proper mid school bike I built after getting into it in 2014.
Midschoolfool:
To explain it better. The Pork wheels are like bananas. I built them, and truing has never worked for me. I just don't get it, and they are quite complex wheels. As such it needs wheels on so I can remove the ones on there and send them off to be done properly.
So it is likely the STA black wheel set will go on that until they come back. I have loads of bikes crying out for killer wheels tbh. They have always been very hard to find and or pair together. Probably the hardest bit to locate in mint or NOS condition, especially chrome ones. Chrome rims from the 90s are beyond rocking horse poop at this point without bubbling and corrosion.
Midschoolfool:
Yup sorted. Paid 70 for the front wheel. One of these rims (NOS)
On this hub and spokes. Hub is a Prolite I think, all sealed too.
Midschoolfool:
Oh and this is on its way too.
I need to repaint the bars on the STA and give them some real clear coat. Which I bought yesterday. Only a 250ml can because it is only bars.
I started work on something else for the STA too. One of these.
Just needs a blow over in satin black. I can't believe after over 8 years the STA might actually get finished :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
Bars off.
It's hard to see how bad they are but they have numerous chips down to the metal and a strange texture to the clear.
The rest of the bike is perfect. Like, filthy AF, but nothing a clean won't sort.
So whilst I was up there Profile BB met Pork, as did the new pedals with Ti axles.
