It was decided that before fully stripping the bike down it would be advantageous to work out the correct angles for the mudguard blades and stays. To do this necessitates lacing up the correct size rear rim. A 19″ Borrani is currently fitted but I’d acquired a correct 20 incher some while back from John Hanson. This has been sent off with the hub to be laced up and a new tyre fitted. Spokes will be zinc plated steel and we won’t be able to re-use the nipples as they don’t suit the 20″ rim.
