Yeah - I love them! So light, yet quite large at the same time. They will be going onto either this build or possibly my next one.... depending how they turn out when mounted. They look different, and different is GOOD! 8)

I tried to tell our lass that different is good, when I suggested brown love. ::)

I've been trying to get Photobucket to work but I am overseas working currently so can't access it... anyway, I've just found out there is the attachments option below (dur!) so I will use that instead.... not sure whether it'll work but there we go...
I have received some shots of my laced wheels and am really chuffed with how they have turned out :daumenhoch:
I recently sent the hubs, rims and tyres off to RAD member ‘Steve69’ who has kindly worked his magic on them and with a very swift turn-around indeed has sent me the finished shots, which I think look fantastic.
As I have previously mentioned I love the look of skinnies, and also decided to stick with the rim size that came on the bike when I found it, and also what the ex-WHEELS riders told me they had predominantly raced on BITD. I opted for a race-oriented radial lacing on the front with a half radial/3X lacing on the rear, with NOS black UKAI skinny rims. That combo, with the Son-Lites I recently scored from the US, seems to have worked a treat and I cannot wait to see how they are going to look when mounted.
We toyed with the use of black nipples, but eventually settled on silver.

Here's the front wheel, radially-laced.
