1950s/60 sprint rear wheel

Dirt Disciple
  • aluminium sprint rim (requires tubs, not clinchers)

    dh airlite annodised large flange flip flop hub

    40 spokes, tied and soldered, allegedly by reg harris' mechanic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reg_Harris

the hub runs smoothly (having been recently serviced) and the spokes are stiff, with no obvious deflection of the rim. you could put this on a bike and ride, although not with the perished tyre in the picture.

a rare opportunity, pm with offers.

Terms and conditions stipulate you must have a price :)

What make is the rim, looks like an old alesia?

don't know, as no markings on the rim; it came as a spare with a pair of wheels that were identical bar the fact the rim was fiamme…
