Yes. I could have got them to do it, but I wanted to see if i could. I've wanted to build a wheel for some time and this seems a good excuse!!
I currently thinking of powder coating the Raleigh frame (RAL 6014) yellow olive :shock: . With big white raleigh decals over the top. :roll:
I know you guys are more into preserving bikes but i'm thinking more of practicality and pure tartyness.![]()

But the odd thing is that the rim is listed as having an erd of 548 but then lists this as the 'Nipple Seat Dia + 3mm for nipples' and I'm not sure what that means - is the rim odd in anyway?
All that said, I'm not responsible if the spokes are the wrong length!

Nipple seat diameter is the diameter where the nipples 'sit' in the rim (the inside of nipple head, wrt it build up.).
Nipples heads are ~3mm normally so that is added to get the ERD
