Got some new wheel from Robbied196 many thanks.
front ones cleaned up nicely and i've fitted the new tyre, tube and rim tape
Has a nice large flange hub and wingnuts.
the other needs stripping down and rebuilding onto a the original rear hub, which i hope to get done next week

Large flange wheel hubs always look good. My Continental of around71/72 has them. They'll look very attractive on the machine.
pulled the other front wheel and original rear wheel apart, ready to build into a new rear.
Found out the rear hub has the normal screw for a freewheel cassette on one side and what i assume to be the screw and lock ring for a fixed wheel on the other side.
The rear hub is in very good condition, due to it being covered in a thick oily gunk, thats protected the chrome, so only a couple small spots of pitting on the center, loads better than the original front one.

How is this build progressing?
it was at a standstill with building the rear wheel, but thanks to a couple mates i have a couple suitable donor wheels to strip down for their spokes/nipples.
On a plus i got a new seat for it, a San Marco Rolls all complete, couple small scuffs in the leather, nothing a good clean can't sort out.

Any news on this one?
