Today I...

Rode over to my parents house to wish my Dad a happy 78th birthday.



This evening I started building wheels from a couple of rims I painted a few days ago. The rear wheel I'm lacing to a Bendix Automatic (2 speed kickback). I hadn't laced a wheel in a couple of years. After a little refresher course from the late Sheldon Brown it was a snap.



The hub came from a narrow aluminum rim which I put together many years ago and wasn't using.

Happy Birthday Randy's Dad!

And good job on those wheels, Sheldon's lacing tutorial is the method I learned from.
