Front Wheel Back


Our old mate Clive has rebuilt the front wheel for the A7. The rim is the original Borrani 19 incher that was first on the bike 30 years ago and has been polished. The spokes are stainless this time 'round instead of chromed steel. What doesn't really show up in the picture is the polished brass spoke nipples although in reality they look much better. In retrospect lining the centre of the rims in black would have made them pop a lot more. The 16 inch rear wheel is now starting the same process and will hopefully be sorted in the next few weeks.
