    i believe i see a Eastwing 16oz rip hammer there. leather grip? 30 years old?
    I saw a guy lace a wheel on TV once, he looked a little crazy. So be careful

    There was this show on tv once, where an average guy was brought in to Exile Cycles and given 30 days to build a custom bike from scratch, If they got it done in the time limit, they could keep the bike. Almost everybody got screwed lacing the wheels! Apparently it's a pretty tough thing to do! Maybe it's just cuz I had a BMX in the '80s, but I always liked Mag wheels! Yay! I finally like the easy way!
