Many years ago my LBS had a wheelbuilding book living in the workshop, and it had this wonderful quote about snowflake lacing:
[INDENT] "Every serious wheelbuilder who has ever practiced this kind of spoking pattern has sworn to refrain from repeating the error.
[/INDENT][INDENT] Yet, young bike freaks, apprentices and mechanics seem to like this kind of spoking pattern. My advice: Leave them at it and let them continue to show their enjoyment and enthusiasm in this way. It's better to see them rolling spokes than rolling joints."[/INDENT]
