Classic wheelset

for my new baby, she's vintage so i decided to ditch the very popular choice of going for a modern/vintagey look and give thi beauty the look she really deserves, my thought was to get campy hubs, rims or ambrosio ones, and have a crow's foot lacing but then i saw the fancy three leading three trailing????or shall i just go for a classic 3 cross?

just go for classic.. nothing really beats it!

i get it but 3x or crow's foot?

just a classic 3x for me.

dunno what your new(old) frame is, so i guess that's the first question.

secondly, are you aiming for a period-correct restoration, or just want to do it up nice and aesthetically pleasing?
pictures would be nice...

3leading 3trailing got me a scolding from the hetchins archivist (not period correct), but i think it's lovely, and compliments the frame.
in fact, there are a number of incorrect bits on my bike; some of them offend me, and are there sheerly for practical reasons.
the wheels, however, despite being very incorrect (they're 700c rather than 26"ers; hubs and lacing all new-fangled), i adore.

What frame you got Stef?
How about some sweet tubular rims? Seen some nice gold nisi ones on t'bay.

got some tub rims up for free if you want them stef. old and a bit dirty came with an ebay buy not wanted, rim only though. if your interested ill put up some pics

this is the frame...

stef - the gold spoke card will look sweet against that frame -

nice score on the frame by the way!

ta squire!

very nice!
imho, go with classic on this one; clean straight lines.
