Rear wheel is HERE!

I came home to a large box on my doorstep last week! It was the completed rear wheel that was made by Buchanan's. They did a great job on it. I can see where they re-angled the spoke bores in the rim to make the spokes pull straighter instead of being slightly bowed (due to the wider rear hub they're laced to...) and they also "kinked" the spokes slightly at the hub so they would sit in the hub bores straight. All in all, I'd say I'm extremely pleased by their work.

Now... if I could only get my local guy to figure out the front wheel I'd be in business... More on that later.

In the mean time, feast.
