FWIW, Keith, my TR2/3/3A Spare Parts Catalogue lists only 48-spoke wheels, in
choice of "Bright Chrome," "lacquer," "alum.," " and "Dull Chrome" finishes.
My TR4 SPC lists all those in both 48- and 60-spoke wheels (wow; what a
choice!), and my TR4A and TR250 SPC's list only "Bright chrome" and "Alum.
finish" 60-spoke wheels. I don't (yet) have an SPC for the TR6, but I believe
that is when the 72-spoke wheels first became "normally" available?
