I was able to make a complete set of 8 identical coathangars this afternoon with a pair of old Zipp 303 wheels. :D

Here's a brief story as to the 'why'... basically static tension wrecked them over the course of 8 years. :(

The brake tracks got ruined further after going down some very steep hills. Because of that, not really rideable apart from track / velodrome or disc-only use, but they're 650c, so I thought: "what the hell"!

Any bidders over 80 Euro (for the whole set of 8 coat hangars)? :lol:

Should have left them whole and turned them into mirrors!

That would've cost money. :wink:
