Frame just arrived, very pleased, it's in better condition than I expected. A few scratches here and there, but most of the frame looks pretty much new.
So, I did a quick mockup with parts I had lying around:
Planet-x wheels:
Ratty front-wheel, just to see what it looks like with box rims and gumwalls:
Quick potato chop of the Planet-x wheels:
So, not really sure where to go from here. Any thoughts about using the Planet-x wheels are definitely gone, because they look terrible on there. So it's pretty clear I need new wheels.
The photoshop doesn't look bad, but is hardly realistic, as I need a front brake, so it wouldn't be long before the front wheel wouldn't look anything like that anymore.
