Lacing On A Sunny Afternoon

What better way to spend your friday afternoon than with beer, moussaka and wheel building with your brother?
The wheelset is for his sixties track bike and he had chosen a vintage styled yet very modern set of bits for the project. Custom aluminium high flanged hubs, handmade in poland by Maciej at Mack Hubs; DT Swiss butted spokes, grey hard anodised Mavic Open Pro rims and italian handmade tyres from veloflex.
The bike is completed and turned out really great. I will post photos of it at a later point.
Look at the cut-outs in the flanges A style nod to vintage Campagnolo hubs. A good choise and a subtle touch of class in my opinion.
Hard work takes good food.
