I've been truing up wheels for years but never actually built one.
It's something that's interested me ever since watching my mate building them in the 90's.
I'm going to use an old hub and have a go. Spokes are around £30 for 144 with nipples online and i'll get some rims too. Gotta learn sometime

It's all about the detail - love it!

Oh, and the valve must be between two of the spokes that are most parallel. Nearly forgot that. :facepalm:
