| Hey Indy, I guess you don't remember-we discussed this when we tore down that hopeless project of yours (Dreamcycle-HA!) to parade rest. I've been told by a reliable source that Buchannon's has a tool-some sort of flange roller machine- that they use to straighten out bent rims. It requires that you send the rim only, unlaced from the hub. Locating a 16" Borani might be a little tough, but I think there are new flanged alloy rims available from Buchannon, perhaps Central Wheel in England too, that are a pretty good match. A couple years back there was some chatter on this list from a few folks that had 16" rims laced to Guzzi hubs. The consensus at that time was that it had a negative effect on handling. Of course, what difference would that make to you? You & the "Popsicle" can only hope to keep my tail light in sight next year at Mid-Ohio! To the list: IndyDiamond & I have a friendly competition going on-to see who can build the beter LoopFrame starting with rust buckets for next year's Mid-Ohio event. All the banter is in good fun. He's a great guy but really could use lots of help! ;) IndyDi-@aol.com wrote:
