If I owned that I'd have to tear all my wheels apart just so I could have the pleasure of rebuilding them . _________________ Specialized Allez 06' "Rain Bike" 21.50lbs Neuvation F100 11' "Road Bike" 16.80lbs Specialized Tarmac Pro 11' "WW Bike" 14.25lbs Last edited by StuTheWeak on Fri May 27, 2011 5:36 am, edited 1 time in total.

Will start with a front wheel, 20h radial. Brew some strong coffee and make some biscuits...blackberry preserves...will make for a nice Sunday _________________ Specialized Allez 06' "Rain Bike" 21.50lbs Neuvation F100 11' "Road Bike" 16.80lbs Specialized Tarmac Pro 11' "WW Bike" 14.25lbs

Still think my German (Centrimaster) stand will make wheels that are a piece of art. _________________ Specialized Allez 06' "Rain Bike" 21.50lbs Neuvation F100 11' "Road Bike" 16.80lbs Specialized Tarmac Pro 11' "WW Bike" 14.25lbs

The preciray is also a cool stand and has lots of retro appeal. However I think if God is a wheelbuilder he's probably using the Holland Mechanics manual stand. _________________ Fair Wheel Bikes Fair Wheel Blog Friend me on Facebook for behind the scenes updates

Looks like you'd need a graduate degree in computer science to turn it on.
