8-Spoke finally found

Well, I thought i would share with you all that I have finally found a 8-Spoke for my bike. Will be collecting on Tuesday, straight to PC where it will be returned black, currently white. Just for reference there have been several listed over the last month here in the UK. I have missed out on 5 before this. Most are selling for 85GBP ($135) to 110 GBP ($175).

Will be looking forward to getting this on the bike.

To ensure a perfect match, you may want to get the front wheel powder coated, too.

front wheel has only just been PC'd so should be fine with colour match, but always good advice. Really looking forward to getting this on.

Something you may want to do is keep your five spoke rear wheel and get another front wheel w/ rotors. What you can do then is put sticky rubber on one set and high-mileage rubber on the other. Since it's so easy to swap wheels, you'll have one set for when you want to ride aggressively and another for long-distance touring.

Well, 2Fast4U, thanks for the idea. Not a bad suggestion at all. Might have to seriously consider that. Thought i would post a picture, collected the wheel complete with a bridgestone tyre, looks like it came of a commuter bike all the wear is dead center. Switching the current rubber i have after powder coating and replacing the valve with a bridge port right angle valve. Is it possible to have 2 colours powder coated. Would love to get a gold pin stripe put into the folks.
